Our process

We start with a tailored diagnostic of your sales and marketing performance. This provides commercial clarity, identifies growth levers, and ensures any engagement is built on evidence, not assumption.

Working with your leadership team, we translate the diagnostic into clear priorities and outcomes. This step clarifies the scope, time commitment, and expertise required from a fractional leader.

We connect you with proven fractional executives who align with your growth objectives. Each consultant is vetted for deep sector experience and the ability to deliver impact from day one.

Your chosen fractional leader integrates quickly into your team, delivering ongoing strategic support. Their involvement can flex up or down as your needs change, ensuring value creation without over-hiring.

FAQs

Who are Growth Partners?

Growth Partners is a sister business of tml Partners, who partner exclusively with a highly curated panel of fractional and independent consultants. While tml specialises in executive search and interim management, Growth Partners works with a carefully selected panel of seasoned leaders to provide flexible, part-time expertise. It’s especially valuable for investor-backed and high-growth businesses needing rapid, specialist support.

What’s the difference between an interim manager and a fractional consultant?

An interim manager steps in full-time for a defined period to lead, stabilise or transition a function, taking on decision-making authority and accountability. A fractional consultant works part-time over a longer term, providing strategic leadership or expertise without full-time commitment. The interim role is about embedding quickly and driving execution, while the fractional role focuses on sustainable support and oversight

What are the benefits of hiring a fractional or independent consultant?

Fractional and independent consultants give businesses immediate access to senior expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. They provide flexibility to scale support up or down as needs change, often bringing specialist skills that accelerate growth or transformation. With a carefully chosen consultant, companies avoid hiring delays, reduce risk, and gain leaders who can deliver impact from day one — particularly valuable for investor-backed or high-growth organisations.

How do you ensure the quality of the consultants?

We apply a rigorous selection process to guarantee access to only the highest-calibre talent. In fact, 95% of applicants do not meet the criteria. Those who do have led marketing and commercial functions for some of the world’s largest and most ambitious businesses, bringing proven expertise and board-level experience.
