Guest address
First of all let me say how delighted I am to be here today, celebrating with such an amazing bunch of people. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Studying for a qualification takes a tremendous amount of drive and dedication, and the fact that most of you will have achieved this whilst juggling a full-time job, family responsibilities and the many other commitments that our incredibly busy lives throw at us, is outstanding. This level of commitment leaves me in no doubt that in front of me now are the payroll stars of the future and your employers should be very proud of you. The CIPP does a fantastic job of making sure that the payroll and pension professions achieve the recognition they deserve. It responds to the changes and pressures the industry faces and provides courses that equip you to be the very best that you can be. Pensions in particular is an area that has kept us on our toes lately and it will no doubt continue to do so moving forward, with all smaller employers now ‘embracing’ automatic enrolment and many larger organisations facing the challenge of re-enrolment. With hindsight, it would have been great to have developed a standard interface for all pension providers, rather than the multiple ones we are now faced with, but we are where we are, and as payroll and pensions professionals we will get the job done – and it will be done well. Common to everyone in this room, and demonstrated by your willingness to invest in continuing your education, is the desire to do a good job, to have the expertise and knowledge that enables you to face these and future challenges with confidence. Cintra are staunch supporters of the CIPP: as industry bodies go it really is at the top of its game. The information sharing, courses, networking, they are all first rate. But what really makes the Institute great is you – its members. You are the heart of the CIPP: the drive, professionalism and thirst for knowledge that you demonstrate today is what really sets it apart. The CIPP undoubtedly has the most dedicated members of any Institution I have encountered. With your commitment and enthusiasm I know the future of the payroll and pension professions are in good hands.
