The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards are the industry’s most prestigious awards, which are given to individuals and organisations who have had the biggest and best impact on the payroll, pension and reward professions over the past year.
Prior to dinner, people flocked to have selfies with the evening’s host, Ben Shephard, who was very generous with giving hugs and having chats, despite having to be up extremely early the next morning to carry out his day job on Good Morning Britain .
After a delicious three-course meal, Jason Davenport took to the stage to officially open the awards ceremony for the first time as the CIPP’s chief executive officer (CEO). He recapped on the success of the conference for 2023, and also reminded there’s still more for payroll professionals to keep on their radars, with the upcoming King’s speech and autumn statement. He also thanked everyone for their awards submissions and ongoing support over recent months and years.
It was then over to business development director, Vickie Graham to thank the awards judges and our wonderful award sponsors. Vickie was delighted to introduce the very special guest of the evening, Ben Shephard (who most of you had already met and had pictures with).
Ben Shephard is a presenter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain , alongside Susanna Reid, Kate Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins. He is also a journalist and presenter on Tipping Point and Ninja Warrior UK . Additionally, he has broken four Guinness Book World Records and, over the past ten years, completed 14 marathons, ran across the UK twice, appeared in Soccer Aid and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, all for charity. Ben expressed his delight at being at the beautiful Celtic Manor Resort, of course, referencing its fantastic golf course. He went on to state that the professionals in the room all held a common desire for excellence, ensuring employees are all paid correctly and on time, recognising the hard work which goes into that, along with the team spirit. He then turned his attention to presenting the awards for 2023, meeting the winners and having photographs with them on stage.
