      Temple Management Solutions was conceived to serve two sectors. First, those parts of the construction industry, struggling to manage in a rapidly changing legislative and regulatory environment and second, the virtually unemployable, but amazingly talented parents of young school kids, who had to 'be there' to drop them off and pick them up during the normal working day.
