Graduation Supplement 2016

Guest address

Congratulations to everyone graduating today. We are delighted to be able to share the day with you and to celebrate your achievements, hard work and dedication.

Portfolio Payroll is extremely proud of our relationship with the CIPP as their preferred recruitment partner and having supported the payroll industry as a specialist recruiter for over 28 years. We are always hugely impressed with the level of dedication and commitment shown by CIPP members pursuing professional qualifications in addition to the day to day challenges of your role. The ever increasing complexities of payroll and pensions legislation and increased work load makes your graduation all the more impressive and inspiring to those embarking on their qualifications. Working in partnership with the CIPP, Portfolio Payroll recently conducted a salary and benchmarking survey. Our findings highlighted an increase in the number of clients requesting candidates who have undertaken CIPP study or who are currently studying. We have also witnessed a growing awareness of the impact and contribution of the CIPP to the industry as a whole. Moreover, we have noticed a significant upturn in the sheer volume of recruitment that we are doing at all levels and we are convinced that this heralds an extremely buoyant market over the coming months. In such a highly fluid recruitment market within the payroll sector at all levels and in most locations with skills and professional qualifications in high demand it becomes increasingly clear that the time you have invested into your qualification is a huge investment into your career and long-term professional development. The increased knowledge you have gained combined with the further skills you have developed will be beneficial both in your current role but also no matter what direction your career takes moving forward, as well as being an asset to both your current and future employers. The role of payroll and pensions professionals continues to be more central to the success of any business. No matter what the challenges, changes in legislation, pressures or projects you face moving forward in your career, you will be well-equipped to deal with the future.
