Although we are the smallest of the 48 UK Branches with just over 500 members we have big hopes and aspirations for 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 is a regular Newsletter and this Website to keep members up to date with what's going on in Cumbria Branch.
