The finals of the PPMA Excellence in People Management 2018 were held at the prestigious Gala Dinner at the PPMA Conference in Newcastle Gateshead on the 19th April 2018. The theme was a Masquerade Ball attended by over 300 people, who were there to see the winners take the stage to receive their awards.
