The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards 2019
On the evening of Thursday 3 October 2019, payroll, pension and reward professionals donned formal attire to attend the CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards held at the Celtic Manor Resort, Wales.
The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards are the industry’s most prestigious awards for individuals and organisations that have had a positive impact on the payroll, pension and reward professions over the last twelve months. It was a night filled with glitz, glamour and glory as the Institute recognised all the hard work of individuals, teams and organisations that were nominated this year.
After the sumptuous meal, Ken Pullar, CIPP chief executive officer, welcomed everyone to the Awards, and spoke briefly on the success of the conference and exhibition and National Payroll Week.
Vickie Graham, CIPP’s business development director, took over proceedings and thanked the awards’ sponsors and the judges for their work in short-listing and selecting the winners. Vickie provided brief comments about the evening’s after-dinner speaker Hugh Dennis and welcomed him to the stage.
