A very warm welcome to all our members. The Wessex branch is made up of a branch committee covering four active geographical areas, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Poole, and Andover and Salisbury. The Branch covers four counties, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset and Wiltshire. We are an active branch covering the South of England. Wessex branch is part of the SW Region that includes four other branches: Devon and Cornwall, Swindon and North Wiltshire, West of England and Gloucestershire. The aims of our branch are to: - Support the delivery of the wider CIPD strategy. - Raise the profile of our profession. - Engage our members and volunteers. - Create unity and consistency of activities across the branch. - Communicate in a way that is engaging and wide-reaching.
