Welcome to our branch

Alright Bab!
Thanks for visiting the CIPD Birmingham branch page to find out more about us. In Birmingham, we’re at the centre of everything - proud host of the Commonwealth Games, four hours within most of the UK’s population and home to the youngest population in Europe.
We’re a fun-loving, passionate and dedicated committee of volunteer people professionals who are all about ‘brummifying’ our CIPD experience. In our humble opinion, Birmingham is the best city in the UK and we try our utmost to reflect this in our event programme each year.
Our Committee is going through a number of changes at the moment and we’re re-establishing our vision, priorities and purpose. Look out for more updates here soon and in the meantime, you are more than welcome to get in touch with me.
