In 1981, before the term interim management was even widely used in the UK, Russam GMS founder Charles Russam took on an interim accountant position and realised there was probably a wider market for it. After bringing the concept back to the accounting firm he was working for, Charles became Managing Director and shareholder of Guardian Management Services, which would in 1990 change its name to Russam GMS. It was the first Interim Management provider in the UK.
When Charles started what is today Russam GMS, his goal was to use his expertise and people-driven approach to provide solutions for the organisations he worked with. Over 30 years later, we are still just as conscientious, connected and innovative with every one of our clients. We understand your needs, not just as a business, but as the people within it.
