6.2. In addition to those risks identified above, an initial risk was identified in setting up the partnership regarding the failure to recruit a new Building Control Business Manager.

The decision was taken not to recruit at that stage, as the skills profile of the replacement would to a certain extent depend on the strategy for future expansion of the partnership and the delivery model chosen following the period of consolidation. The two lead surveyors agreed to act up and pick up the additional duties between them and this has been working successfully. This is also a good development opportunity for both members of staff.
