More than 50 years of expansion and acquisition had left Purmo Group with a collection of different approaches to HR administration across regions.
Helen Duke, Purmo Group’s HR manager for the UK, Ireland, and US, recognised that with an upcoming IPO, it needed a solution to unpick its disparate systems: “Until 2021, we didn’t have a global HR management system.”

In early 2021, following a tendering process, Purmo Group chose Sage People to unify its HR management across multiple regions and sites.
Doing this gave Purmo Group access to comprehensive and accurate HR data to inform business decisions, automation of routine tasks that released staff time, and data protection assurances that eased implementation at unionised sites.

Implementing Sage People proved invaluable in the run-up to its 2022 flotation. HR can provide consistent and accurate data, immediate reporting, better productivity, and an improved employee experience.
At the highest levels of the Purmo Group, these efficiencies mean that its now easier than ever to make important business decisions.
