Triple Success at PPMA Awards
Our North Yorkshire Council HR and OD team are celebrating their triple win at the PPMA (Public Services People Managers Association) awards on 10th April.
These awards, which took place at the PPMA Annual Conference in Manchester, seek to recognise the exceptional work happening every day in public services. They serve as a platform to celebrate the achievements that often go unnoticed. This was a particularly special year for the PPMA as they celebrated their 50th anniversary.
The team were shortlisted in five categories and took home three awards, including the highly coveted Gold Award, which celebrated an outstanding display of excellence across multiple categories.
The awards
Best Public Sector HR & OD Team of the Year 2025 – The judges said:
“Their outstanding collaboration, innovation, and commitment to delivering impact across the organisation truly set them apart. This win celebrates the power of people coming together to create real change.”
Best Employer Brand Award – The judges said:
“Backed by bold vision, authentic values, and a powerful sense of place, their employer brand truly captured what it means to belong, grow, and thrive in public service.”
Gold Award – The judges said:
“After an outstanding display of excellence across multiple categories, North Yorkshire Council has truly set the standard for public sector leadership and innovation. Their achievements are a testament to the power of effective people management, transformation, and a people-first approach to service delivery.
We’re thrilled to celebrate the work of our fantastic teams, and also send warm congratulations to the winners of the other awards.
