Outstanding professional Interim with over 20 years experience.

LOCRIS Est.1987 provides business leaders with a new concept in service. Not part time executives or consultants who borrow your Rolex, tell you the time, and reinvent the wheel at the start, middle and end of every project.

Interim Talent - knowledge, expertise and skill based service building on the benefit of experience. We provide the talent to meet strategic, tactical and operational requirements. Non-aligned with specific product or service organisations, maintaining independence when working with clients, working with the senior management team, bringing to bear knowledge of markets, products, technology and services, and technical and managerial expertise, to devise and deliver the best solution to meet needs.

Expertise in the required field on a project by project basis: Director, Chief, Head, Programme / Project Manager, Consultant or other Interim or Locum roles.

Not employees - we are far less distracted by office politics and prejudices; we can focus on delivery

Through our network of experts and healthy relationships with vendors, we can often save huge amounts of time and money, for our clients.

We frequently attend conferences, exhibitions, conventions and supplier summits and subscribe to many research journals to ensure a constant stream of the latest market intelligence. All of this knowledge is channelled into delivering the best customer services.

Not-for-profit committed to improvement in technology for humanitarian mine action to reduce the social and economic impact of landmines.

Populations are denied land for agriculture, access to water, health care and communications in more than 70 countries where landmines threaten life and promote fear. The economic and social costs are incalculable.

The MINESEEKER Airship fitted with unique ground penetrating radar detects plastic and metal landmines infinitely faster, more safely and cost effectively than any other method. Its scanning capacity is 100 square metres/second (manual demining 40 metres/day).

Promote and improve technology and develop an effective airship mounted landmine detection system - fast, accurate minefield mapping, allowing conventional de-mining to be concentrated where it is needed.
