DDK announces new strategic partnership with AIM Recruitment

DDK has entered into a strategic partnership with AIM Recruitment, a specialist supplier of interim and executive managers to the food industry, that truly understands the complexities of food manufacturing.

The challenge many businesses face when carrying out Capex projects revolves around resource. The existing teams are too busy to deliver the project and do the day job. Companies that try and do both through their existing team usually fail.

The collaboration of talent between AIM and DDK allied with their strong network of resources provides options for either AIM supporting Business as Usual (BAU) freeing the internal team to focus on projects; or DDK managing projects from feasibility studies and concept designs through to equipment and process specifications, tendering and construction management, transition planning and delivery of a fully operational facility.

“We have built a solid reputation within the food industry and the logical next step is to extend our management consulting capabilities to encompass capex engineering management plans” says Alan Donaldson, Managing Director of AIM Recruitment.

DDK’s expert team have >100 years’ combined project management experience in the food and speciality manufacturing industries, having delivered £5+ billion of capital projects ranging from £1m to £150m with multi-site investment programmes from £200m to £500m.

“DDK’s unique Define – Deliver – Sustain model sees us act as an extension of our clients’ teams, advising on the most appropriate solutions and working in partnership to deliver a fully equipped facility from initial feasibility to optimised operations” says Tim Dixon, Director of DDK. “Working together with AIM Recruitment enables us to offer clients a fully turnkey solution”.

Businesses considering how to integrate capex projects with fully operational BAU would benefit from speaking with AIM and DDK to see what a difference their expert support could make to the overall enterprise.
