We are the biggest of the 48 UK branches with around 6000 members. We have the greatest concentration of Head Offices represented within a CIPD Branch. Most of our members work in central London and have elected to join our Branch.
We welcome all members - practitioners and consultants - covering all levels of the management and development of people, from HR Directors to students just starting their careers in people management.
Branch activities are designed to enhance members' credibility and strengthen the link between HR and the business. As well as the events there are a number of Special Interest Groups that meet regularly. A regular newsletter and this website keep members up to date with what's going on in Central London Branch.
