Awards Finalists

PPMA is delighted to announce the shortlists for the Annual PPMA Excellence in People Management Awards 2017. We had a great event in London yesterday to announce the shortlisting which was attended by judges, PPMA Board members, sponsors and award entrants. As ever, we want to thank all of our judges and sponsors for making these awards possible.

The energy in the room was really great and it was inspiring to see the reaction of people in the room who had been shortlisted. Below is a short video of the day – we hope you will get a sense of how positive the event was!

Here are the details of the shortlists. You also have the opportunity to review a short video of the reporting work that The Guardian has done over the last year and that is worth a look.

The only things left to do are to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who entered. We had some fantastic entries this year and the standard was incredibly high. CONGRATULATIONS to all of our shortlisted entrants – we wish all of you the very best of luck for the final ceremony.

Please remember to book your conference places so you don’t miss out on the Gala Dinner and the final ceremony. Booking details arenhere.

See you in Bristol soon – get your glad rags ready!

PPMA President Elect 2017/18
