Customer Testimonials on their website:
“We made the decision to join APSCo after attending on in Birmingham City Centre last year. We were already aware of APSCo’s reputation in the market and on the day we were very impressed by the content and quality of speakers. But ultimately, we came on board because of the level of support that APSCo could offer our business – we found it to be much better value than what other trade bodies could provide. Since joining a little over six months ago, we have benefitted from attending several more events and workshops, and also found the model policies and documents that APSCo members have access to extremely helpful. APSCo understands our market, in our region, and we hope to take full advantage of an even greater range of services in the future.”
Managing Director & Founder, Harrison Bridge
“When I joined APSCo, I did do because my competitors were members. On enquiring about joining APSCo, I was initially annoyed that all the references were required as I had been away from the UK for 12.5 years. However, it forced me to re-connect with clients and candidates from my past. Not only was I surprised by the 100% positive response but it also gave me an excuse to start business conversations. Your regular updates on industry matters are more informed and regular. Your legal team not only replied with useful help but actually called me to talk through it all. This goes beyond expectations in levels of service and clearly shows the personal touch.”
MD, McNally Recruitment
“We were immediately impressed by the smooth onboarding and ongoing high touch account management which includes face to face meetings with our senior management team. We have also been pleasantly surprised with the number of events, quality of speakers and breadth of relevant market insights available to immediately take advantage of. We are very pleased to be members and wish we had joined years ago!”
