< Back Cloud Security Advisory for a Leading Insurance Group Upon launching a cloud-first strategy, which aimed to move from internal data centres towards a multi-cloud environment, our client identified a critical gap: visibility and control over multi-cloud security. Specialist expertise was required to evaluate a platform that could potentially address this gap. Interval's expertise enabled the client to make an informed decision on how best to achieve their cloud security objectives. Approach We engaged an experienced IT Cloud Security Consultant certified in the chosen cloud security platform to support the strategic preparation and delivery of a series of strategic and technical workshops.

< Back Mobile Device Management for a Global Construction Manufacturer Our client launched a major IT transformation programme, including the modernisation of mobile device management (MDM) systems. The company needed to migrate from its legacy MobileIron solution to Microsoft Intune to align with its broader digital workplace strategy and improve mobile security and control. Approach Working alongside a system integrator, we provided a Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Intune SME to support the client through the design and implementation phases of the migration. Key responsibilities included scoping and defining requirements, designing the new Intune-based environment, creating a controlled app store, producing technical documentation at each stage, and ensuring the solution integrated seamlessly with third-party vendors and the client’s internal IT operations. The SME contributed to architecture artefacts, including technical design documentation, and supported technology evaluation to ensure all solutions aligned with the client's global IT and business strategies. Interval also leveraged its Microsoft Partner status to access privileged manufacturer support, providing additional support during the transition at no extra cost to the client. Outcomes The client successfully transitioned from MobileIron to Microsoft Intune, delivering a unified and secure platform for managing mobile devices across the organisation. The new solution significantly improved visibility and control over mobile assets, strengthened data protection measures, and enabled more consistent policy enforcement. By implementing a centrally managed app store and automating key processes, the client was able to reduce administrative overhead and enhance the end-user experience. The migration also laid the foundations for a more agile, cloud-first IT environment, supporting the client’s broader goals for innovation, scalability, and operational efficiency across its international operations.

< Back Digital and e-commerce transformation hiring for a global beauty and personal care company How we helped an industry leading consumer goods manufacturer build digital and e-commerce capability across four European markets in eight months. The challenge As consumer behaviour shifted decisively toward digital channels, a leading global beauty and personal care company identified a significant capability gap between its established trade marketing structure and the talent needed to compete in an increasingly digital-first environment. The business required specialists who could drive performance marketing, manage the digital shelf, develop D2C strategy and extract value from data analytics, not just in one market but across Germany, the UK, France and the Nordics simultaneously. The challenge was compounded by the intensity of competition for this profile of candidate. Digital and e-commerce talent with genuine FMCG or beauty sector experience was scarce, and the window to build these capabilities ahead of key commercial cycles was narrow. A traditional recruitment approach would not be fast enough or targeted enough to meet the brief. The approach Interval worked closely with both HR and commercial leadership to define precise competency profiles for each market, recognising that the requirements in Germany differed meaningfully from those in the UK or the Nordics in terms of platform mix, consumer behaviour and organisational maturity. Critically, we approached the brief not as a series of individual hires but as a capability-building exercise. This meant mapping the talent landscape across beauty, broader FMCG and adjacent digital sectors including performance marketing agencies, e-commerce platforms and digital consultancies, to identify candidates who could bring genuine digital maturity into a business undergoing significant cultural as well as commercial change. Throughout the engagement, Interval provided regular market intelligence on candidate availability, competitor hiring activity and compensation benchmarking, enabling the business to make informed decisions quickly and remain competitive in its offers. The results Across an eight-month engagement, Interval placed 18 digital and e-commerce specialists across four markets. The average time-to-offer was 34 days and the two-year retention rate across all placements was 91%. The hires spanned performance marketing, digital shelf management, D2C strategy and data analytics, collectively accelerating the client's digital transformation agenda at a critical moment in the company's growth trajectory.

< Back SAP SD Implementation for an Automotive Company Interval supported a global automotive leader in preparing for a major SAP S/4HANA migration - analysing core sales processes, engaging key users, and driving change awareness. The result: faster buy-in, clearer vision, and a solid foundation for transformation. Situation A multinational manufacturer of luxury vehicles and motorcycles required updates to its core enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, SAP, which was already well integrated into its IT environment. As both business processes and SAP solutions had evolved significantly since the initial implementation, the organisation sought opportunities for improvement to stay ahead in the highly competitive automotive sector. To address this, the company wanted to understand the business and competitive advantage potential of moving to SAP S/4HANA. The project team started by analysing existing SAP R/3 processes and produce recommendations for new SAP products and solutions within S/4HANA that could be adopted either group-wide or in selected regions. The scope included: As-is analysis Awareness sessions with users To-be recommendations Use cases Demonstrations Recognising the need for deep expertise across the broad range of SAP modules, the client engaged Interval to provide a specialist in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD). Approach Interval provided a dedicated SAP SD Consultant to support the delivery. The engagement began with a series of sessions involving key users to raise awareness of the programme and collect feedback on pain points to explore further. Using this input - alongside SAP forensic data, SME insight and direct interaction with SAP - the team analysed the gathered information to create a detailed current vs. target state roadmap. The consultant, a certified SAP professional with deep knowledge of the latest innovations, was able to advise with high precision. All findings and recommendations were fully documented to support steering committee review and eventual implementation. Outcomes The first phase of the project was delivered in just four months, ahead of schedule and within budget. The following phase began immediately afterwards. Given that the last major SAP upgrade had occurred over a decade ago, change management was a key pillar of this project. The programme successfully raised awareness of new SAP solutions among key users, who left the sessions more confident and better prepared for the S/4HANA transition. Increased visibility into the risks of remaining on legacy platforms helped secure swift leadership buy-in. The project also delivered process maps, system demo recordings, and setup manuals. The client has since approved the move to SAP S/4HANA, with the broader programme now underway. It is expected to run for several years and bring meaningful improvements in efficiency, process integration, and system security. Previous Next

< Back Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration Supporting a global manufacturing organisation during the migration of 13,000 users from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, rapidly stabilising the environment, clearing a backlog of 400+ support tickets and ensuring uninterrupted collaboration services. Situation A global industrial manufacturing organisation initiated a major digital workplace transformation programme to migrate approximately 13,000 users from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 . The migration formed part of a broader initiative to standardise collaboration and productivity platforms across the organisation. During the early phases of the programme, the client encountered significant operational challenges within the existing Google Workspace environment. A backlog of more than 400 unresolved support tickets had accumulated, with some cases remaining open for over five months . These issues were affecting users across multiple business units and creating pressure on the internal IT team responsible for supporting day-to-day operations while simultaneously delivering the migration programme. Key technical challenges included maintaining stable mailflow and routing , ensuring uninterrupted access to collaboration tools and shared resources , managing user accounts and device policies , and addressing data migration discrepancies . At the same time, the organisation needed to ensure continued access to business-critical applications and integrations dependent on the Google Workspace environment. Given the scale and complexity of the environment, the client required experienced Google Workspace administration support at L2/L3 level to stabilise operations, reduce the ticket backlog and ensure the migration programme could continue without disrupting business operations. Approach Following the client’s request for support, Interval identified, resourced and onboarded a qualified Google Workspace administrator within 48 hours , enabling the client to rapidly reinforce their internal IT team during a critical phase of the migration programme. Interval’s specialist provided hands-on L2 and L3 administration and support across the Google Workspace ecosystem, including Gmail, Google Drive, Google Groups and shared collaboration resources. A structured ticket triage and case review process was implemented to prioritise and resolve the oldest and most critical support cases first, enabling the backlog to be reduced systematically while maintaining responsiveness to new requests. The engagement included troubleshooting complex technical issues, managing user accounts, permissions and security policies , and resolving operational issues affecting collaboration tools, device access and productivity applications. Direct support was provided to users to resolve login issues, access problems and device management challenges , ensuring minimal disruption to daily work. Interval also worked closely with the client’s Microsoft 365 migration team to monitor mail routing, migration data integrity and platform stability, helping ensure that operational issues in the Google Workspace environment did not impact the migration process. Outcome By the conclusion of the engagement, Interval successfully reduced the support backlog from over 400 open tickets to approximately 60 , exceeding the client’s expectations and restoring operational stability to the environment. Mailflow and routing remained stable throughout the migration , while collaboration tools and shared resources continued to operate reliably for users across the organisation. Issues affecting data migration integrity and user access were identified and resolved, helping to improve the quality and reliability of the migration process. Through rapid mobilisation, proactive support and close collaboration with internal teams, Interval enabled the client to stabilise its existing Google Workspace environment while continuing its large-scale migration to Microsoft 365, resulting in reduced operational risk and a significantly improved user experience during the transition.

< Back macOS Ecosystem & Cybersecurity Transformation Interval supported a global manufacturer in overhauling its underdeveloped macOS environment - addressing critical security and operational risks and enabling nearly 1,000 users to benefit from a secure, stable and well-integrated Apple ecosystem. Situation At the start of the project, the client had rolled out a limited Apple macOS environment within one of its teams of developers. This environment presented significant security and operational risks. A high-level review highlighted several critical issues: Lack of authentication and authorisation procedures Unstable environment with mix of devices and standards Misalignment with internal IT processes Absence of a target operating model These gaps placed the organisation at risk and hindered the scalability of the macOS environment. Approach Interval took a two-pronged approach: first, conducting an in-depth assessment of the existing setup; and second, designing and beginning the implementation of a top-down improvement plan. Key activities included: Technical evaluation High-level architecture review Operational review Security assessment Authentication and authorisation implementation Operational diversification The objective was to stabilise the environment, embed security best practices, and align it with broader IT standards and tools, including the client's ITSM platform (ServiceNow). Outcomes The transformation enabled almost 1,000 users to access macOS devices within a secure and stable enterprise environment. Strategic improvements: A clear, documented macOS strategy was developed in close collaboration with business and IT leadership. Operational improvements: Processes are now fully integrated with internal systems, documented, and aligned with enterprise IT practices via ServiceNow. Technical improvements: Advanced systems have been deployed to protect and support users, significantly raising the maturity and reliability of the environment. Previous Next

< Back SSCM Migration for an Automotive Safety Company Interval supported a global manufacturer with an urgent migration of over 4,000 endpoints to a modern SCCM platform - enhancing security, stability and deployment capabilities, all while avoiding disruption during a critical business period. Situation A global automotive safety technology company required an urgent upgrade of its System Centre Configuration Manager (SCCM) infrastructure during a peak holiday period. The existing SCCM environment was outdated, putting operations at risk and limiting compliance, security, and efficiency. With over 4,000 endpoints across multiple international sites, the migration posed significant risk if not managed carefully.

< Back Full-Stack Development for a Statutory Pension Organisation A national statutory pension organisation embarked on a major digital transformation project: the development and implementation of a new electronic application system. To support this initiative, there was a need for highly skilled backend and frontend developers with expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Angular and agile delivery practices. Approach We provided a team of senior backend and frontend developers, each with several years of experience in delivering enterprise-grade solutions. Our backend developers focused on analysing requirements, designing and building robust server-side architectures using Java 8, Spring Boot and JPA technologies, ensuring integration with OpenAPI specifications and maintaining high code quality through extensive code reviews and use of tools like Sonarlint. Our frontend developers implemented user-centric Angular 14 interfaces, created comprehensive unit and end-to-end tests using Jest and Playwright, and ensured a responsive, accessible user experience. The project was run in collaboration with a consultancy and required seamless integration into complex public sector IT environments, as well as a consulting-oriented mindset. Both teams worked closely together in an agile environment, promoted best practices through regular coaching sessions and supported internal staff with targeted knowledge transfer. Outcomes Thanks to the expertise and commitment of our team, the client successfully advanced the development of its new electronic application system. The backend achieved a stable, scalable and fully compliant foundation integrated with the existing IT landscape, while the frontend delivered an intuitive and reliable user interface aligned with public sector standards. Knowledge transfer sessions enhanced the client’s internal capabilities, reducing long-term dependency on external support. The collaboration contributed to the digital modernisation of one of the country's most important public institutions, improving service delivery for millions of citizens. We are pleased to continue delivering highly skilled scalable resource augmentation for the client. Previous Next

< Back Critical / Rapid Incident Response Delivery Services Interval deploys verified specialist consultants in as little as 24–48 hours, helping organisations respond to critical delivery risks, stabilise programmes and maintain momentum across cybersecurity, cloud and business transformation. Overview When a business faces an urgent delivery risk, there’s rarely time for lengthy hiring cycles or traditional procurement. Whether the cause is a cyber incident, an unexpected resignation, a stalled programme, operational overload or a major compliance deadline, leadership teams need the same thing: immediate access to trusted expertise . Interval provides a rapid response capability for clients across multiple industries, delivering highly skilled, verified specialists at short notice , with the commercial flexibility and delivery mindset required for high-pressure environments. We don’t simply “find CVs”. We deploy practitioners who can integrate fast, take ownership and deliver outcomes. This case study highlights how Interval supports clients when speed is mission-critical, drawing on real scenarios while reflecting our wider rapid-response delivery model. Situation Large organisations and fast-growing businesses alike face moments where delivery becomes time-sensitive and high stakes: A cyberattack triggers urgent remediation and hardening requirements A critical leader or technical specialist leaves without notice A programme deadline is approaching and delivery capacity drops Stakeholders demand progress visibility and stabilised governance Compliance expectations increase and internal teams are already at capacity In these scenarios, delays create commercial risk, security exposure, reputational damage and operational instability. Clients need a partner who can move at pace without sacrificing quality. The Interval Rapid Response Model Interval’s rapid deployment model is designed to deliver speed and certainty, without compromising the standard of resource or delivery outcomes. 1) Verified specialists, not “available candidates” We prioritise pre-vetted consultants and experts with proven track records in complex environments, including public sector, regulated organisations and global enterprise teams. 2) Fast mobilisation with clear accountability Rapid response requires more than introductions. We support mobilisation from day one, ensuring clarity on scope, objectives, stakeholders and delivery ownership. 3) Delivery-first approach Interval operates as a consultancy-led partner. Our resources integrate quickly and focus on outcomes, not just activity. 4) Cross-industry capability We regularly deploy experts across multiple domains, including: Cybersecurity and IT risk Workplace and collaboration platforms Infrastructure and cloud Programme and project leadership Business analysis and change Data and enterprise applications Examples of Rapid Response Delivery Cybersecurity response following a cyberattack In one engagement, an organisation required an urgent security uplift following a cyberattack, including global IT and Active Directory hardening . Interval deployed a verified cybersecurity expert in under 24 hours , enabling immediate remediation and stabilisation work. Delivery took place during the Christmas and New Year period , demonstrating the practical reality of rapid response: the situation didn’t wait for business hours and neither did Interval. Impact delivered: Immediate specialist capacity during a business-critical incident window Accelerated hardening activity and security improvement delivery Reduced risk exposure through fast remediation execution Workplace stabilisation after an unexpected departure In another scenario, a major workplace transformation programme faced delivery risk due to an unexpected departure . The workstream involved the migration of 14,000+ users from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 , requiring both technical capability and stakeholder confidence. Interval deployed a verified Workplace Solutions expert in under 48 hours , stabilising the programme and enabling continuity without the delays of sourcing, interview cycles and onboarding. Impact delivered: Programme continuity restored immediately Reduced delivery risk and improved leadership confidence Sustained migration momentum for a large-scale user population Outcome Across urgent and time-sensitive engagements, Interval consistently enables clients to: Mobilise specialist capability in 24–48 hours , not weeks Stabilise critical programmes during high-risk phases Maintain delivery momentum when internal capacity is limited Reduce security and operational exposure during urgent incidents Improve stakeholder confidence through rapid, credible execution Overall, Interval has proven to be a trusted partner for rapid response resourcing across industries, combining speed, quality and delivery accountability when it matters most. Why Interval Rapid response is not a volume recruitment exercise. It requires judgement, verification, access to specialists and a delivery mindset. Clients choose Interval because we provide: Fast access to verified specialists Consultancy-led delivery focus Multi-region and cross-industry capability Proven execution under pressure Previous Next

< Back Industrial Market Entry Strategy for a Consultancy A consultancy engaged Interval to support one of their Japan-based private investor clients exploring entry into a specialised segment of the industrial machinery market. The investor required detailed market insights and a clear view of several potential acquisition targets’ strategic positions within a highly technical and fragmented sector. The project demanded multilingual research, precise analysis and discreet stakeholder engagement. Situation A private investor based in Japan was evaluating an acquisition-led entry into a niche segment of the industrial machinery sector. With limited internal expertise in this specific domain, the investor sought trusted, independent insight into both the market landscape and the commercial viability of several potential acquisition targets. Their consulting partner engaged Interval to resource the research effort, drawing on our ability to deliver sector-specific intelligence and navigate cross-border complexities. Approach Interval deployed a senior consultant with industrial B2B expertise and multilingual capability to lead two coordinated workstreams: (A) Market Research Conducted in-depth desk research and interviews with industry experts across multiple regions Assessed key market trends, growth drivers and customer expectations Mapped the competitive landscape and benchmarked leading players Estimated the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and identified key buying factors (KBFs) relevant to the segment (B) Acquisition Target Assessments Facilitated structured data requests and Q&A processes with multiple prospective acquisition targets Conducted interviews and working sessions with key stakeholders at each company Evaluated product-market fit, commercial positioning and strategic differentiation for each target Outcome Interval delivered a comprehensive, investor-ready assessment of the market and the relative positioning of multiple potential acquisition targets. The insights provided critical input into the client’s investment decision-making process. By combining sector knowledge, multilingual communication and timely execution, we enabled a Japan-based investor to evaluate a complex cross-border opportunity with confidence. Previous Next

We are committed to ensuring modern slavery plays no part in our business or supply chains. Modern slavery This is the modern slavery statement of Interval Group. In this document, "Interval", "we", "our", or "us" refer to Interval Group. Introduction Pursuant to section 54(1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”), we are not required to publish an annual modern slavery statement. However, we have chosen to publish details on our approach to preventing modern slavery, as we consider this issue to be of the utmost importance in building a better world. Our organisational structure Interval Group refers to the global network of companies that operate under the Interval brand. We provide high quality professional services to solve complex problems. Our wide range of services includes management consulting, programme delivery, technology transformation, digital, PR, training and more. The firm has two managing partners and access to over 20 million professionals worldwide, with a particular focus on the EU and UK markets. All partners, employees and contractors share the commitment to building a better working world. Our partners, employees and contractors comprise our client facing and support teams. Our commitment Interval strives to make a real difference, which includes conducting our business to the highest possible ethical standards. As part of this commitment, we will not tolerate any form of human rights abuse, including modern slavery or human trafficking, in any part of our business. The firm is committed to ensuring modern slavery plays no part in its business or supply chains. To satisfy this commitment, we undertake a range of different steps and continue to strive to achieve the highest legal, ethical, environmental and professional standards within our own business and supply chains, making sure that all stakeholders (including employees, contractors, partners and suppliers) are working together to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking. In relation to our supply chain, we are focussed on working with long-term, strategic partners who demonstrate the same commitment to their people to ensure modern slavery plays no part in their or our business. Our supply chain Interval believes that our supply chain is the biggest risk area where modern slavery issues may arise as we work with many different suppliers each year, providing us with a large range of goods from stationary to laptops and providing us with various services from catering to accounting. We use a variety of methods which allow us to undertake due diligence on each of our suppliers and ensure that we have appropriate policies and contractual terms in place to ensure that our suppliers understand the standards that we require of them. To the extent that our suppliers do not adhere to our standards, there can be material consequences, including the termination of our relationship with them. Our supply chain management We pay great attention to the appointment of new suppliers. Interval's leadership team (supported by others, including legal and risk advisory teams) is involved in performing due diligence on potential suppliers, to ensure we work with organisations who share our commitment to the highest possible business and ethical standards. This puts us in the position to make informed decisions about who we want to work with. Where we are satisfied that it is a supplier that we want to engage with, we then negotiate appropriate terms with them (adherence to local laws and regulations regarding modern slavery is a non-negotiable item for us). Our supply chain generally falls into the following categories of supply: Travel, Meeting & Events and Brand, Marketing and Communications Procurement, which spans all forms of business travel and subsistence, meeting arrangements and business events, advertising and public relations; Real Estate and Workplace Services Procurement, including management of offices and operating expenses, facilities management and office furnishings; Technology Sourcing and External Content, which includes computer and communications equipment, IT services and development; and Talent Procurement, including talent acquisition, recruitment screening, employment benefits and learning and development. We continually evaluate how to identify and address risks in our supply chain, including those related to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our due diligence Interval requests all suppliers to register their details with us and answer questions on social and environmental sustainability, including their efforts to protect against modern slavery, their own vendor due diligence processes and to provide supporting evidence for their answers. We also have access to a data driven tool which provides an indicated risk rating (from low to high) across elements of modern slavery for sub-categories of procurement and suppliers. In particular it looks at child labour, forced labour, human trafficking and forced marriage. This is used to better understand the level of due diligence that should be applied to a supplier. Our plan is to expand our current due diligence programme to a risk-based approach based on the findings of this environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk tool. Those suppliers that do not meet our standards will face an escalation process and will be given the opportunity to make improvements before we make a final determination on whether we engage them as a supplier or not. Once the supplier has been approved via the firm’s procurement process, ongoing compliance with its obligations is monitored by the relevant business stakeholders. Our Supplier Code of Conduct Once suitable suppliers have been identified by our procurement team, they are then required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct (or equivalent standards) as part of the procurement contract between the supplier and the firm. The Supplier Code of Conduct (“Supplier Code of Conduct”) sets out clear standards of business conduct and ethics that our suppliers have to abide by. Specific examples of what it includes are: Freedom from forced labour, bonded labour and human trafficking: All employment should be freely chosen by the worker. This means workers should be free to leave their employment at any time (subject to reasonable and paid notice periods) and shall not be subject to any coercion or restriction through, for example, the holding of original copies of employee passports, identity documents or monetary deposits. Further, there shall not be any use of bonded labour. Work should be undertaken for fair compensation and should not be undertaken to repay a debt incurred (for example, as a result of deceptive recruiting practices). Recruitment agencies: Where recruitment agencies or brokers are used by the supplier, appropriate due diligence and ongoing management should be undertaken to ensure that risks of worker exploitation (such as debt bondage) are effectively mitigated. Reasonable evidence of these activities should be made available to us upon request, within a reasonable notice period. Child labour: Suppliers should adhere to local laws relating to the minimum working age and not engage in the employment of child labour, directly or indirectly. Suppliers should also ensure that working hours for those of school age are not exceeding the maximum hours on a school day. Demonstration of reasonable modern slavery due diligence: We expect that our suppliers will maintain an active view on the inherent risks of modern slavery in their supply chain (including third-party certifications in relation to human rights and social compliance standards). Among other modes of inquiry, we expect this to include engaging human rights specialists to perform validation audits of high-risk suppliers on an intermittent, but no less than annual, basis. Our supplier terms The obligations set out in the Supplier Code of Conduct are strengthened by our standard supplier terms which provide the firm with the right to terminate agreements by written notice to a supplier with immediate effect if the supplier commits a material breach which is irremediable or, if such breach is remediable, fails to remedy that breach within a period of 30 days after being notified to do so. Being in breach of any applicable law (including the Act) would, in our view, amount to a material breach. However, we would normally first try to work with suppliers who are in breach of their obligations so that any modern slavery issues are eradicated as soon as possible. Our business Given the type of work that we do, the recruitment checks that we undertake on our people (which includes an interview process and comprehensive background checks) and the training and policies we have in place to inform and develop staff behaviours, we believe that the risk of human rights infringements (including under the Act) arising within the firm is low. Nonetheless, we remain committed to ensuring that no modern slavery occurs by having appropriate due diligence processes in place and training our people. Our people Before joining, we perform extensive pre-screening on our employees, partners and contractors, which include identity checks, reference checks, right to work checks, criminal record checks, and where applicable education and professional qualification checks. This supplements a number of interviews, where recruitment have been trained to observe behaviours. We are confident that these processes flush out any modern slavery issues at the recruitment stage. We also adhere to paying the Real Living Wage (or equivalent international wage standard) to our employees and contractors across all our locations in the UK and overseas. Our policies and training Interval's Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) represents our commitment to building a better working world. It provides a clear set of standards for our business conduct and ethics that underpin this purpose. The Code of Conduct binds all our people worldwide, regardless of their individual role, position or practice area. It includes a responsibility to report any behaviour that compromises the principles in the Code of Conduct, which includes any form of human rights abuse, including modern slavery and human trafficking. To ensure the Code of Conduct is embedded in the firm’s culture, our staff must complete an annual declaration confirming they have read, understood and are in full compliance with the Code of Conduct. This includes acknowledging that it is their responsibility to speak up when they see any behaviour that they believe is inconsistent with the principles set out in the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is publicly available here: LINK The firm published a Modern Slavery Statement (the "MSS") shortly after its incorporation. The MSS reinforces the responsibilities and standards expected within and outside of the firm, whilst also reminding our people that we encourage openness and are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery is or may be taking place. In addition to modern slavery, the firm actively takes steps to prevent wider issues regarding harm and abuse of those who work with us, engage with our activities or operate on our premises. Every new joiner to the firm is required to complete an induction, as part of which details of the Code of Conduct and risk management policies (including the MSS) are provided. Where a specific need is identified (such as for those working in our procurement team), bespoke training is also delivered to enhance the understanding of, and compliance with, the Act and Code of Conduct. Any breach of the Code of Conduct and/or MSS will be taken very seriously. This can result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal without notice. For employees or partners who are members of professional regulatory bodies, any breach will often result in a report of wrongdoing being made to their regulator. Reporting concerns Our people are encouraged to raise any questions or concerns that they may have about modern slavery in our business or supply chain via the firm’s central mailbox (anonymously, if they wish) or with a manager or partner. No complaints or concerns have ever been raised about modern slavery or human trafficking taking place in our business. If you have any questions regarding our modern slavery statement, please contact us .

< Back Microsoft Entra ID (Active Directory) Transformation for a Global Manufacturer A leading global manufacturer of building materials sought to enhance its IT infrastructure by ensuring seamless management of its complex hybrid Entra ID / Active Directory (AD) environment. The company’s environment included a multi-forest Active Directory, Azure AD, Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), and AAD Connect, integrated with Microsoft Exchange and Windows Server. As part of a larger IT transformation, the client required an experienced AD administrator/architect to maintain, optimise, and improve its global directory service across multiple regions. Approach We placed a skilled Active Directory Architect to manage, optimise and operate the client's hybrid AD environment. This role involved working closely with internal IT teams, Microsoft, and third-party vendors to ensure smooth operation and implementation of improvements. Our expert was responsible for the oversight of the cloud-based, multi-forest AD, Azure AD, ADFS, and AAD Connect. He developed and fine-tuned PowerShell scripts to enhance the environment’s functionality and resolved complex issues by performing root-cause analysis and identifying data-driven insights. This strategic role ensured that the client’s global infrastructure could continue to scale efficiently while remaining secure and reliable. Outcomes The client achieved a highly optimised hybrid Active Directory environment, enhancing its integration between on-premises and cloud systems. The successful management and fine-tuning of the AD system, including the implementation of automation via PowerShell, significantly reduced manual overhead and improved operational efficiency. With a well-maintained AD infrastructure, the client's IT team was able to more effectively support its complex, multi-domain organisation. The ability to conduct thorough root-cause analysis also led to faster resolution of issues, strengthening system stability. Overall, this solution ensured that the client could continue to grow and adapt in a secure and efficient manner, aligning with its broader IT transformation strategy. Previous Next

We offer a range of flexible hiring models including: Permanent recruitment – sourcing full-time employees who become part of your team. Fixed-term and contract / freelance hiring – ideal for project work, seasonal peaks or interim cover. Managed service solutions and workforce-planning support for more complex talent needs. You can choose the model that best fits your organisational objectives, timeframe and budget. We are also happy to have a conversation to understand your needs and advise you which model fits best. What types of roles can you help us fill? We support the full spectrum of roles across your organisation, from junior to senior leadership, and across functions, not limited to one specialty. Whether you’re hiring for operations, finance, technology, supply chain, commercial or support functions, we can help. We match both the technical/functional requirements and cultural fit. How do you assess candidates to ensure quality? We adopt a systematic, multi-stage assessment process to ensure the candidates we present are well-qualified and aligned with your needs. This typically involves: Reviewing their background and CV, using our unique talent pool insights to gain a deep understanding of the candidate's profile. Conducting structured interviews (behavioural and technical/functional as appropriate). Where relevant, skills assessments, work sample or case-studies. Reference and background checks. Our aim is to deliver the best candidates who are ready to contribute. How often will I be updated during the hiring process? We believe transparent communication is key to a successful partnership. You’ll receive regular progress updates at each stage of the process, from shortlist presentation through interviews and offer management. For contract or interim roles, we also maintain ongoing contact throughout the assignment to ensure everything runs smoothly. You can expect proactive communication from your consultant without having to chase for information. How quickly can we fill an urgent role? We understand that hiring timelines can sometimes be very tight. We maintain a pool of pre-vetted talent and our consultants are constantly talking to candidates to augment this pool across all our specialisms, building a powerful sourcing network to accelerate the process. While exact timing depends on role level, market availability, and complexity, we are experienced in mobilising quickly and delivering candidates faster than many in-house processes alone. On average, we provide qualified candidates within 24-48 hours and reduce time-to-hire by 40%. Our quickest time-to-hire is less than 24 hours from initial request to the work beginning. This is possible thanks to our urgent response team, who provide ready-to-go candidates for critical requirements, including cybersecurity incidents and in-flight projects with unexpected absences. Just let us know what timelines you are working toward and we will prioritise your request. Can you help with remote or hybrid hiring? Yes.

What sectors and geographic regions do you cover? We recruit across a broad range of industries, including retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, financial services, energy, digital and technology and professional services. Our reach extends across the UK, Europe, North America and APAC. This allows us to understand both sector-specific requirements and regional nuances, ensuring a consistent and effective hiring experience wherever your business operates. How do you ensure a smooth onboarding process? We provide tailored onboarding support for both permanent and contract engagements. For permanent hires, we assist with interview coordination, offer negotiation and pre-start preparation to help new employees integrate quickly. For contract or interim roles, we manage the above in addition to administrative steps such as compliance checks, contract documentation, onboarding logistics and ongoing support, ensuring the consultant or contractor is ready to start without delay. In both cases, we remain engaged after onboarding to ensure a seamless transition and strong performance. How is your success measured? We measure success through feedback from both our clients and candidates, across permanent and contract placements. For permanent hires, we typically check in after the first few months to ensure performance and cultural fit. For contract and interim engagements, we monitor progress throughout the assignment, maintaining communication with both parties to ensure expectations, deliverables and timelines are met. Our goal is to build lasting partnerships and deliver consistent, measurable value in every engagement. What sort of fees or charges apply? As a professional recruitment partner, our fee structure depends on the model you engage (permanent vs fixed-term), level of the role, market complexity and scope of services (e.g., retained search vs contingent hire). We’ll provide full transparency in a proposal at the outset, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and the value you’ll receive. How do you keep up to date with current hiring trends and skills shortages? We invest in market intelligence, maintain close links with candidate networks and attend industry forums. Our recruiters specialise by sector and function so they understand the evolving skills landscape, salary benchmarking and best practice trends. This helps you stay ahead of the competition when attracting and retaining top talent. What if a hire doesn’t work out? We stand by the quality of our service across both permanent and contract placements. For permanent hires, if a candidate leaves or is deemed unsuitable within the guarantee period, we will work with you to find a suitable replacement. For contract or interim roles, we can quickly identify and deploy a replacement to minimise disruption to your project or operations. Our goal is to ensure continuity, value, and peace of mind throughout every engagement.

< Back Credit & Lending Operations for a Major Banking Merger Interval supported a high-profile US bank merger valued at $190m by leading the credit and lending integration - ensuring compliance, consistency and control across risk modelling, governance and underwriting. The result: a seamless integration delivered under tight timelines and complex regulation. Situation As part of a major merger between two large US banks, a global advisory firm was engaged to oversee the integration of credit and lending operations. Given the regulatory complexity and critical nature of these functions, the integration required deep subject matter expertise across: End-to-end credit and lending processes Underwriting, credit risk management, modelling and validation Regulatory compliance with IFRS 9 and CECL Governance frameworks and SOX reporting Integration strategy and risk control environments To meet the demands of the engagement - valued at $1.6m - the advisory firm required an experienced, independent consultant to lead the credit and lending integration and provide strategic recommendations throughout. Approach Interval was engaged to provide a CFA-qualified subject matter expert with a background in mathematics, accounting, and deal advisory. The consultant was tasked with leading the integration across three interconnected workstreams: Credit risk policies, procedures and underwriting standards Credit risk modelling and validation, including allowance reporting under IFRS 9 and CECL Governance framework integration, up to Chief Risk Officer (CRO) level The engagement also involved identifying adjacent areas for improvement, such as stress testing frameworks, capital adequacy calculations, reporting enhancements, and control environment optimisation. The SME quickly integrated into the advisory team, led a team of seven consultants, and worked with stakeholders across both organisations to ensure alignment, compliance, and knowledge retention throughout the merger process. Outcomes The credit and lending integration was delivered on time and to scope within six months, enabling the $190m bank merger to proceed smoothly. Key deliverables and outcomes included: A unified underwriting process and aligned credit risk policies for commercial and consumer lending A new credit loss modelling solution to support allowance reporting and regulatory compliance A refreshed governance structure providing leadership continuity and reduced redundancy The SME also identified and scoped a follow-on phase focused on creating a robust, integrated control environment through data cleansing and standardisation, and designing a model risk monitoring framework for long-term assurance.
