The Association of Management and Professional Staffs is a UK Registered Trade Union whose origins go back to the British Association of Chemists founded in 1918.

Its original membership of graduate scientists in the UK chemical industry has since widened to include managers, scientists and other graduate level staff in a range of science based UK industries. These include chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and there is also a special section for professional divers.

AMPS is a branch of Unite the Union with our Head Office in the North West Region, and is self governing, with its own agreements and is fully autonomous in all industrial relations activities.
