About Us
The Public Services People Managers Association (PPMA) is the first choice association for people professionals in public services.
For more than 40 years we have been a collective voice for a highly qualified, passionate, committed and diverse public services Human Resources (HR) and Organisation Development (OD) community. We play a critical role in influencing key decision-makers and stakeholders involved in people management and workforce issues.
PPMA Awards
The awards are our annual opportunity to celebrate and share the fantastic work going on every day in our organisations.
We make no apologies for celebrating your success. Working in Public Service is increasingly demanding and challenging but profoundly rewarding.
The work of HR & OD colleagues ensures organisations succeed and deliver excellent services to all of our citizens.

All conference events, apart from the social event on Wednesday 27th April will be held here. Our overflow accommodation is at The Jury’s Inn, which is just opposite The Midland.
