Welcome to our branch

The North East of England Branch is a thriving community of members covering the NE, SR and DH postcode areas.

We're proud of the inclusive community we have and are continually looking for ways to evolve our regional offer to best meet the needs of members. The branch runs a member-to-member mentoring programme and we now have two special interest groups for L&OD and ED&I specialisms. Read about these below. 

We're here for our members and share information on our events and activities via our social media channels. We're always open to exploring opportunities, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, or are keen to get involved, let us know by email.

We offer a range of services and events aimed at practitioners working within the people profession and the wider business community in the North East of England. We hope you will want to  learn more and join our events.
