COMMERCIAL SUPPORT · ON DEMAND

Your commercial director.

Without the full time cost.

Supporting subcontractors and construction SMEs with commercial clarity, risk reduction and better decision making.

Start a conversation
A senior Commercial Manager costs £60 to £80k+. A Commercial Director more. For most
growing subcontractors, that is hard to justify and 60% of the time there is not enough
strategic work to fill the seat. So it does not get filled. The decisions still get made, just without
the right oversight. The variation that needed flagging gets missed. The clause that needed
pushing back gets accepted. The cashflow problem surfaces eight weeks too late. AQS sits in
that gap.
