Daniel Bishop - the subject of the very first 04:05 Payroll Profile - won our 2023 Global Payroll Award for Payroll Student of the Year and has forged his own remarkable path into payroll from a very different starting point. Payroll Profile: Daniel Bishop
As his career and professional aspirations evolve, he is increasingly applying talents acquired outside work to his professional life and the intersection of the two is shaping that career. As a passionate and proficient gamer with an ambition to enter the gaming industry, Daniel enrolled in a Games Technology course at college. He excelled there but soon realised that it was an incredibly competitive field so he adapted. Daniel: The gaming industry was so competitive that I started to look for job prospects outside it. Games have tech skills despite the creative element and so I looked at what apprenticeships were available to me and applied to Cox & Co. for Operation Technician or Payroll Apprentice.
In our interview, we followed Daniel’s unconventional journey from gamer to payroll professional and discover how his unique skill set made him a perfect fit for our industry! Daniel embodies the mindset of a new generation entering the workforce with the understanding that - rather than shaping themselves to fit the corporate mould - their unique interests, outlook and skillsets can be a huge asset for an employer.
