02/ the week
How a week divides.
Part of a week is the point of the model: each client buys days, the rest of the week goes to other clients. Move the days a week and the week redraws.
Illustration only: one way a fractional executive’s week can divide at 2 days a week for you. Each block is half a day.
03/ overview
Birmingham's Fractional Executive Market
The shape of fractional work in this market.
Birmingham companies use fractional executives to bring in senior expertise without a full-time hire.
The city's diverse business base — from traditional manufacturing to emerging fintech — creates demand for part-time leadership across all functions.
A fractional executive who works through their own company may fall under the off-payroll working rules (IR35): status turns on how the engagement runs, and a medium or large client makes the determination.
Manufacturing heritage meets modern business needs in Birmingham's fractional market.
Companies leverage experienced executives to scale operations, drive digital transformation, and expand into new markets while maintaining cost efficiency and operational flexibility.
Why Birmingham for fractional executives?
Excellent transport links, a diverse industry base, and proximity to London make Birmingham attractive for fractional executives, with business opportunities across multiple sectors.
The Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce offers business support to companies starting and scaling in the city, and the West Midlands Growth Company promotes investment into the region.

Hiring a fractional CMO in Birmingham and the West Midlands
Briefs for a fractional CMO in Birmingham or across the West Midlands include manufacturers, logistics and supply-chain businesses, professional services firms and growing technology companies — businesses that need a senior marketer to set strategy but not a full-time one.
The role owns positioning, the marketing plan and the numbers that go to the board; delivery sits with an in-house team or agencies.
Ask for evidence of marketing that moved revenue in a comparable business, and check professional standing — the Chartered Institute of Marketing sets the UK professional standard, including Chartered Marketer status.
For context on where the regional economy is heading, the West Midlands Combined Authority sets out its priorities, including digital innovation, a net-zero economy and advanced manufacturing.
We come back with a shortlist of 3–5 candidates, with their day rates and availability.
Published bands are on the fractional CMO for hire page.

06/ hiring a cfo
A fractional CFO for a Birmingham business
A fractional CFO in Birmingham is usually brought in for a defined job: preparing for a raise or a sale, building forecasting and board reporting, managing bank and investor relationships, or steadying the finance function after a period of growth.
The CFO works a set number of days a week while a finance manager or bookkeeper runs the monthly close.
Look for a chartered qualification — ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA — and experience in your sector, whether manufacturing, professional services or technology.
If you are raising growth finance, the British Business Bank's Midlands Engine Investment Fund II offers loans and equity to smaller businesses across the Midlands, and lenders and investors will expect a finance lead who can run the process.
The Department for Business and Trade's business population estimates break down the regional business base by size, industry and geography.

07/ finding work
Executive jobs in Birmingham fractional, interim and permanent
Executive jobs in Birmingham span the city's large employers in financial and professional services, the manufacturing and automotive supply chain across the West Midlands, the public sector and technology companies.
For senior candidates the market has three shapes: permanent roles, interim assignments covering a gap or a change programme, and fractional roles that give a company a set number of days a week.
To read the market, start with the data.
The ONS regional labour market statistics show employment trends for the West Midlands, and the West Midlands Combined Authority sets out the region's economic priorities, including digital innovation, a net-zero economy and advanced manufacturing.
Companies raising from the British Business Bank's Midlands Engine Investment Fund II are worth watching, because a funding round often brings a need for finance and technology leadership.
