Hello October and the move to autumn, with darker nights and the leaves now turning from green to brown. With Halloween creeping up on us, we really are in the last quarter of the year.
October is also the month of the Annual Conference and Exhibition 2024, so there’s lots of networking, training and collaborating coming up. They say that you either love or hate payroll and it will be a career for life or a job you would never go near again. Well, after 36 years in the industry, I can wholeheartedly say I love it. I started my career on a Youth Training Scheme at 16 while taking the BTEC National Diploma in Finance and Business, progressing through the roles to payroll and human resources manager, payroll compliance manager and shared services manager in private and public service industries. I then became head of compensation and benefits, which led me to my role today as head of shared services. I have also undertaken IPPE qualifications along my journey, starting with the Payroll Diploma then moving to the MSc in Business and Payroll Management. Both qualifications helped me move to the next career level. The biggest and proudest part of my career has been serving you, our members, as chair of the CIPP board. I have been learning new skills, overcoming challenges and been able to make a difference to the payroll industry. Thank you for allowing me to share my passion for payroll. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the forthcoming events, so please come over and say hello and share your payroll career stories.

CEO’s message By the time this issue lands on your desk, we’ll have celebrated National Payroll Week and demonstrated to broader industry the contribution the payroll profession makes at a macro level for the UK economy and broader UK spending, and at a micro level for every individual receiving the correct pay, at the right time, for each working household in the UK. Thank you all for your contribution to that special week, and of course for everything you do each pay period.
It’s now conference and awards season, and as well as our own awards, I have been fortunate enough to be asked to judge on a number of other association award panels. Whether for individual accomplishments or team projects, it’s a delight to review submissions and see the wealth of talent that exists in the payroll, pensions and reward profession. This issue focuses on why you love payroll. For me, it’s provided a fantastically diverse and experience rich career that has spanned the globe and allowed me to meet, and work with, so many inspiring people from a myriad of backgrounds. I was especially pleased recently to provide an overview of the opportunities that payroll as a career choice presents to the son of one of my oldest friends. Nearly all my close friends are successful entrepreneurs and having him ask me to speak to his son shows the respect that he has for my career, which typically as lifelong friends has never been spoken of previously. We all love payroll and I thank you for all your support of the CIPP and IPP Education Ltd. I thank you for promoting payroll within your organisations, within your business sector and to the world at large for all that the profession delivers for the benefit of everyone employed. I have recently completed a ‘My Duvet Flip’ filming with Jack Parsons from Youth Group, to promote the Institute and the profession as a career choice. You can read a little more about this on page 4 but do please like and share this to create as much reach as possible and encourage others to think about the possibilities of payroll.
