Peter Holmes has been a full and active member of the Association for Project Management since 1998.

Peter is an advocate of the APM's mission statement which is: "To develop and promote the professional disciplines of project and programme management for the public benefit".

APM is the largest independent professional body of its kind in Europe. It has over 16,500 individual and 500 corporate members throughout the UK and abroad. Its aim is to develop and promote project management across all sectors of industry and beyond.

Peter Holmes participates with the UKTI and the Business and Government Interchange which through secondments spreads skills and best practice between the Civil Service and the private sector. Business secondees bridge knowledge gaps and raise the profile of UK expertise overseas. This brings real business benefits to the individual and their company on their return from secondment. UKTI works with UK-based businesses to ensure their success in international markets and encourages the best overseas companies to look to the UK as their global partner of choice.
