Fractional Operations Services from Meredith Works

At Meredith Works we offer flexible Fractional Operations support for growing businesses that want their operations to run better without adding complexity or full-time headcount, or that have a project that doesn’t fully align to any one leader in their team and need an experience operational professional to support the delivery.

Operational overload remains one of the biggest threats to SME growth, but many businesses are not ready to make a commitment to a full time hire to the team. We can help bridge that gap, whether you need someone to oversee and run the day-to-day operations or to lead a project, we will become an integral part of your team and contribute to the overall efficiency of the business.

Our flexible support allows you to access extra capacity when you need it most. From projects such as corporate events, brand activation and PR, to helping support the business during peak trading periods and preparing the business operationally for the next stage of the scale up Meredith Works can be the extra pair of hands you can rely on.

Fractional Operations gives businesses access to experienced operational support without the cost of a full-time hire. Instead, you can engage the services of a skilled operations professional on a part-time or contracted basis, as and when your business needs the support.

These professionals can help run the day-to-day operations, manage projects and help streamline or build the systems and processes your business needs to run smoothly and scale.

It's a flexible, cost-effective way for growing businesses to get hands-on operational expertise exactly when they need it, without the overhead of a permanent full-time role.

“I worked closely with Carly in her role as Executive Assistant to one of our key clients throughout a complex five‑year restructuring programme involving multiple sales and acquisitions. Her support was instrumental in keeping each transaction moving - from securing access to the right people, often at short notice, to ensuring information and communication flowed clearly and consistently between all parties. Carly was a pleasure to work with: calm, highly organised, and exceptionally capable at coordinating numerous moving parts with professionalism and ease.”
