Don’t Let Summer Slow Your Projects: Act Now or Face the Autumn Rush!

Hey there, project champions! Rachel Williamson here, Project Director at MBR-UK, and I’ve got a burning question for you: Are your projects simmering on the back burner while everyone’s off sunbathing?

Look, I get it. The summer holidays are in full swing, and it feels like half the UK has disappeared off to Mallorca. But here’s the thing – while you’re busy topping up your tan, those critical projects aren’t going to manage themselves!

The Summer Slowdown Trap

We’re seeing a trend that’s got me as edgy as a sheep at a wolf convention. Companies are holding back on engaging outsourced project managers, thinking they’ll just pick things up in September. But let me tell you, that’s a recipe for disaster!

Here’s the cold, hard truth:

• Projects don’t take holidays (even if we wish they would!)
• The “feast or famine” cycle is real, and it’s about to bite you in the bum
• Come September, you’ll be scrambling for resources when everyone else is too

Why You Need to Act Now

1. Beat the Rush: The best project managers will be snapped up faster than the last sausage roll at a buffet. Don’t be left with slim pickings!
2. Prep Time is Prime Time: Use this “quieter” period to get your ducks in a row. Trust me, future you will be thanking present you for this foresight.
3. Hit the Ground Running: When everyone else is nursing their post-holiday blues, you’ll be sprinting out of the gates.
4. Budget Bonanza: Many companies have wiggle room in their budgets now. Use it or lose it!
