Business update from Odgers Interim UK

A word from Grant Speed, Global Managing Director

As we approach the end of a tough financial year, I am pleased to report that Odgers Interim UK has shown remarkable resilience. Despite the challenges faced, our performance has strengthened significantly since the beginning of January, marking a testament to the determination and perseverance of our team.

Notably, our Legal Services team has begun to make a substantial impact, while both our Retail and Consumer as well as FS/Insurance teams are steadily recovering. With a positive outlook into the next financial year, we can confidently stride forward, maintained by our recent successes and secured by the lessons learned during this trying period.
