Outplacement

Many thanks for your team's support during the downsizing programme. Your expertise has made a tremendous difference to the future well being of those staff leaving, and to the commitment, morale and confidence of those remaining.

John Regan, Managing Director, British Trimmings, Stockport

The help your team provided to my operational staff was superb. It was a relief to have external support at a time when my workload was at full capacity. The CVs identified the transferable skills and helped almost everyone to readjust to the employment market - some after a lifetime here at British Trimmings.

Phil Edwards, Operations Manager, British Trimmings, Leek.

Your consultancy came highly recommended by a business associate and that was sufficient reason to go with you. I knew I'd made the right choice when my colleagues provided such positive feedback and became so much more optimistic about their marketable skills and job prospects.

Marian, Clariant UK.

Thanks for your expert guidance, just what my colleagues and I needed. The CVs, letters and interview made the difference and we've all found new jobs.

Pam, British Red Cross, Knutsford

The consensus of opinion is - absolutely great! John, Ericsson Telecommunications, Manchester
