Public Sector Consultants

Public Sector Consultants Richard Leadill, Jim Waight and Vivien Holland, supported the initial implementation of the Agresso Financial Management System at Hounslow LBC during 2004. At that stage the implementation was restricted to General Ledger and Accounts Payable.

Following the success of the initial implementation, Jim was asked to implement the Purchase Ordering module and roll this out throughout the Council.

This was then followed by the introduction of web requisitioning, enabling budget managers to authorise expenditure on line at the order rather than at the invoice stage, with commitments being raised at the same time.

When Wendy Sagar who is Head of Education Finance at Southwark LBC asked us for an interim Central Finance Manager, Dave Lincoln visited her because it was important to understand exactly what Southwark wanted before we responded. “Intelligent empathy is the key to ensuring long term, stable relationships with the public sector” says consultant Dave. Public Sector Consultants had already worked with Southwark LBC in 2005 when Eleanor Kelly was interim Director of Finance and subsequent review meetings with the Council emphasised further the Company’s approach to quality, value for money and professionalism.
