Dow Schofield Watts (DSW) has expanded with the launch of DSW Principal Partners (DSWPP), which will offer access to “highly skilled” C-suite professionals on a fractional basis.
According to the firm, the strategic staffing solution enables companies to fill specific roles or complete tasks without needing full-time hires, “optimising costs and enhancing flexibility”.
It added that DSW Principal Partners aims to provide national coverage with multiple principals across different functions and specialist areas, “with international ambitions on the horizon”.
This will include AI, robotics, supply chain management, environmental, healthcare, education and e-learning, finance and banking, legal and compliance and creative and digital marketing.
The venture is being led by founding member Steve Lord, who has spent the last six years as an Investor and Executive chairman, and he’ll be joined by Claire Cushnahan, Nina Mcloughlin, Mike Ellis and Richard Jones, who will be founders and principals of the business.
Lord said: “We provide high-level executive thinkers that you might not need on a daily basis. As a growing small to medium-sized business or a business with fluctuating workloads, you need access to visionary, strategic, technical or financial skillsets and sector expertise.
“We also provide end-to-end solutions for private equity houses, financial institutions and banks who need strategic support with their portfolios to deliver enhanced investment returns, particularly in turnaround or distress situations. With DSW Principal Partners, clients can tap into specialised skills as needed with our total solution”.
James Dow, DSW Capital’s CEO, added: “We have made no secret of our strategy to expand our offering with high margin, complementary, niche service lines with a strong synergistic fit. DSW Principal Partners provides a key point of difference and will enable us to facilitate our national and international footprint further.
“Having the calibre of Steve, Claire, Nina, Mike, and Richard join as DSW Principal Partners is a testament to the DSW model and the quality of our client base.”
