Interim management firm Practicus has opened its first office in Continental Europe.

Based in Amsterdam, the new office will cater for senior interim management positions across energy, healthcare and banking & financial services.

Practicus managing director, Jason Luckhurst, told Recruiter: “Interim management has been long established in the Netherlands.

“However, despite being a new entrant to the Dutch market, I am confident that our business model will prove successful. Our focus is exclusively on interim management, which is unusual in the Netherlands, and this will enable us to quickly differentiate ourselves.”

Edward van den Bergh, general manager of Practicus’s Dutch operation, says: “The Practicus model has been seen as refreshing in the market. Clients and candidates are responding positively and we’ve already done our first deal.”
