Why I joined TMA-SA

It is considered that the plethora of persons and undertakings offering turnaround and management consulting services are unregulated thus exposing businesses requiring services of this nature to various possible malpractises.

It is hoped that TMA-SA may become the controlling and disciplining organisation for the regulation and control of these services.

Bruce Difford Administration CC

• The rescue of operationally and financially troubled businesses
