About us

What is the IFT?

The Institute for Turnaround (IFT) comprises individuals and organisations dedicated to helping businesses achieve their potential in the circumstances that may be difficult or where profound and radical change is required.

The organisation demands the highest levels of knowledge and experience for membership and accreditation.

It is an entirely independent body and a non-profit making company limited by guarantee.

IFT began life in 2000 as the Society of Turnaround Professionals (STP) following encouragement by UK Government, the major clearing banks and other financiers, private equity investors and leading accountancy firms.

The IFT exists to:

• Represent, support and include the Turnaround Community nationally and internationally
• Have Turnaround recognised as a distinct profession; and to professionalise Turnaround
• Promote the sharing of time and expertise to further socially useful Turnaround
