Emergency Interim Management
Immediate operational leadership when a business is left without management and the operation cannot be allowed to stop.
What AJS Does
Operational responsibility, not recommendations.
Some situations do not allow time for recruitment. A director resigns overnight, a management team is lost, an appointment is made at short notice, or an operational failure puts trading, safety or customers at risk.
AJS triages the situation by telephone the same day, establishes the immediate priorities and, where appropriate, has an experienced operator on site within 24–72 hours. The first days are spent stabilising people, costs, suppliers, compliance and customers within the agreed scope of authority.
Once the operation is steady, AJS continues to manage day to day and reports clearly to the stakeholders who need to make the longer-term decisions.
- Same-day telephone triage of the operational situation
- Deployment of an experienced manager, typically within 24–72 hours
- Immediate control of staffing, rotas and payroll
- Supplier, utility and contractor continuity
- Urgent health, safety and compliance checks
- Daily or weekly reporting while the situation is unstable
When You May Need AJS

- An insolvency appointment made at short notice

FAQs
Common questions
- How fast can you deploy in an emergency?
- We triage by telephone the same day and, where appropriate, place an experienced manager on site within 24–72 hours. The first days are spent stabilising people, costs, suppliers, compliance and customers within the agreed scope of authority.
- What happens in the first 48 hours on site?
- The manager establishes who is in the building and who reports to whom, confirms the operation is lawfully able to open, secures critical supply, stabilises rotas and payroll, and gives stakeholders an honest picture of the operating position.
- Is there a minimum term for an emergency assignment?
- No. Fees are agreed in advance on a day rate or fixed monthly basis with a defined scope and exit, and there is no recruitment fee, notice period or long-term tie-in.
