Pan European Outplacement

Our Pan European outplacement parters have the same quality of high level service as Connor and all have invaluable local knowledge. 

Peter Dudgeon –
Principal Outplacement Consultant for German-speaking Europe

Peter Dudgeon, born in London, spent some of his early youth in Vienna, before returning to study Biochemistry in Manchester. His early career in London was in recruitment, and progressing quickly into Retained Search. The German subsidiary he started up quickly became a recognised key-player in its chosen high-tech market sector. He came to outplacement having successfully established the new Branch-office of a leading Dutch-based Outplacement Consultancy in Munich.

Peter Dudgeon is now partnering with Connor with whom he has a common belief that Outplacement continues to be vital for companies hoping to manage their employer brand, as they need to focus on both employees that are leaving and those that are staying, as well as the wider community. As Peter Dudgeon explains: “Part of the ongoing engagement or re-engagement of employees that are staying is to help them understand that the company has supported the leavers and is providing assistance that will help to enable those people to tackle the employment market. Having that kind of support is really helpful in terms of focus and skills, so if people feel that they’ve been well treated and properly supported then they’re likely to retain a favourable image of the company.”

Chris Dunn

Chris Dunn’s HR career began in the early 1970s, following a BSc in Economics and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Personnel, with key staff and operational roles in Rank Xerox UK and then Rank Xerox International, where his two key roles were International Management Development Manager and Regional Personnel Manager Nordic Countries.

During his Corporate HR career Chris advised upon and implemented a significant number of organisational / structure changes and spent time with senior teams on developing talent. His speciality at that time was the ‘release of management potential’ in both the sales and service engineer forces.

He set up Training & Development Approaches (TDA) which he took from a standing start, over an eight year period, to a turnover of ca. £3.5m, with a network of around 100 HR professionals and a core team of more than 30, and subsequently moulded the company into a new style Outplacement business that developed a reputation for designing ‘transition support strategies’ not just to help those leaving but to leave a legacy within the client organisation that positively supported change going forward. The client base grew and notable names were GSK, BA, BT, Nabisco, Rothmans BAT, Gallaher and many other leading brands. Over 20,000 people have gone through a TDA programme and 1,600 people were helped to set up on their own.

TDA now partners with Connor, offering a personal and customised outplacement service that is driven by the needs of the individual.
