Having interviewed a number of coaches, I chose Appleby because they were very clear about the structure of the programme and my coach would be challenging and flexible to my needs. I have benefited enormously from their expertise and I look forward to an exciting new career.

Freelance HR
With outplacement services with Penna being provided by my ex employer, I was hesitant about spending money on Appleby but having met some of their clients, they were all extremely complimentary about the help they had received. The key difference between standard outplacement and Appleby is the truly personal attention, flexibility and whole person approach.
Danny Nealy:
Bursar
I talked to a number of career management companies. I chose Appleby for a number of reasons but most importantly because I had the feeling I was a personal mission for my coach rather than just another individual going through a process. This has indeed proved to be the case – my coach took a very distinct interest in me as an individual.
Steve Rhodes:
Joint Managing Director
I knew Appleby was right for me but I called a few other companies to make sure. I didn’t get the same feeling from them, they were very distant and business like. This wasn’t a business transaction, this was about me and I wanted to work with a real person, not a processor.
Jacqui Huston:
Creative Marketeer
I talked to a range of outplacement/career companies. From the outset it was clear Appleby’s approach was much more personal focusing on lifestyle and personal drivers as well as the standard career management process. My coach gave me the confidence and courage to explore what I really wanted to do. Without Appleby’s unique approach, I feel sure I’d have swapped one frustrating and unfulfilling role for another.
Paul Estep:
IT Director/Business Owner
What impressed me was the immediate focus on me as a person. With the other agencies, I felt I would have just been one of a crowd following a standard process.
