The effective sourcing and management of peripheral support services can provide companies with a crucial competitive edge. However, making the right choice of site, building, IT system, utilities providers and so on and knowing what to outsource and what to keep inhouse requires specialist knowledge and familiarity with "best practice". This guide seeks to offer CEOs and senior directors of the UK's middle market companies the information they need, and to make specialist issues intelligible to non-specialists, to both source and get the most from their suppliers and professional advisors.
