Notice regarding Arras People

Following an internal review, the directors of Arras Services made a decision to withdraw the services offered through the Arras People brand.

After serving the project management market for 20 years, during which time we saw many changes, 2022 felt like a good year for us to look for a new focus in our lives. During our time, we saw a healthy growth in the deployment of project management practitioners across many sectors not to mention many changes with trends such as agile and latterly, workplace challenges as the impacts of COVID19 hit home.

We would like to thank all the organisations who used our services over the years, it was really interesting to support your initiatives and you brought much diversity and interest to our daily lives.

We also miss the daily interactions with practitioners, who put themselves forward as candidates for the many roles we looked to fill. Whilst we couldn’t find roles for all of you, your interactions with us and the sharing of your career aspirations and frustrations made the many years worthwhile.

Over the years Arras People has been much copied by other organisations (large and small) who have sought to find a foothold in the market serving the PPM community; we have seen it as a positive, an indicator that we were doing the right kind of stuff. Benchmark reports, careers clinics, a focus on the PMO space, polling organisations and practitioners were all stimulating for the team and hopefully put something back into the community.

The world has changed but then again that’s the whole point of project management. We leave, satisfied that we made a difference to many practitioners lives, not sad but with a smile on our faces. Working a niche is always a challenge and one we all thoroughly enjoyed.

So, with thanks and respect we take our bow.
