The Interim Management Dining Club exists so that interim providers and interim managers can meet and share their experiences in an enjoyable and friendly atmosphere, far away from the normal work place. This is networking at its best.

Apart from enjoying ourselves enormously there is a serious side to these evenings, as our main aim is to use the Dining Club to promote the use of interim management in all businesses, irrespective of size.   We hope to invite directors who have not yet used interim managers and, from time to time, we shall be inviting leading financial journalists to attend our dinners and will be encouraging them to write about different aspects of interim management.

There is a one-off joining fee of £50.00 (+VAT), and an annual subscription of £75.00 (+VAT). We hold five dinners each year and the next of these will be on Thursday, 16 April 2009 at Armoury House in the City of London.  On this occasion there will be an opportunity to bring a guest.

On receipt of a remittances for joining fees, subscriptions and dining fees, a VAT invoice will be issued.  This is a serious networking event and we recommend that the cost is analysed as 'marketing' and that the VAT is recovered.
