IPMA Welcomes IPMA-UK as a New Affiliate Association

The International Project Management Association (IPMA) is pleased to announce the start of IPMA United Kingdom (IPMA-UK).

The United Kingdom represents a strategic market for IPMA’s globally recognized certification, professional development, and other offerings within the IPMA Ecosystem. The establishment of IPMA-UK marks a significant milestone in continuing IPMA’s more than half-a-century presence in the UK. Therefore, only two months after the Association for Project Management decided to leave, IPMA demonstrates its leadership position by assuring the continuation of strong support to our UK members and project professionals seeking IPMA credentials and solutions.

IPMA-UK is committed to growing a distinct, vibrant organization that enhances the capabilities of the P3M community across the country, empowering individuals and organizations to deliver successful outcomes for all stakeholders.

As part of the IPMA global family, IPMA-UK will actively support and contribute to our shared mission to:

• Facilitate co-creation and leverage the diversity of our global network into benefits for the profession, economy, society, and environment.

• Offer know-how, products, and services to benefit individuals, projects, and organizations across public, private, and community sectors.

• Maximize synergies across the IPMA global network to support the development of all member associations according to their needs.

• Promote the recognition of project management and engage stakeholders worldwide in advancing the discipline.

Prof. Dr. Mladen Vukomanović, IPMA President, commented:

“We are pleased to welcome IPMA-UK to continue our strong presence in the UK for more than half a century. We recognize the dedication and leadership of the new president, Chris Ferguson, whose 40-year career in project management reflects a deep commitment to the profession. His advocacy for the IPMA Ecosystem in the UK has laid a strong foundation for healthy development—aiming to deliver the full range of IPMA offerings to the UK market. We look forward to supporting this development on a global level and working together to further our shared goals.”

We extend our congratulations to Chris Ferguson, Managing Director and President-Elect of IPMA-UK. His vision and leadership have been instrumental in bringing this initiative to life.

We look forward to a strong and collaborative future with IPMA-UK as part of the IPMA family.

Welcome to the IPMA family, IPMA-UK!
