THE LUMINARYAWARD The CIPP luminary award will celebrate and recognise an individual who has demonstrated leadership within their organisation or across the wider industry and has had a positive, inspirational impact on the career of others.

AWARDED TO: KAREN THOMSON MSC CHFCIPPDIP FHEA, PARTNER AT ARMSTRONG WATSON LLP

“I’m honoured and very humbled to receive this award. I was so shocked on the night, I couldn’t even speak to one of my favourite celebrities.

To be recognised by my peers in this way is such a privilege. I couldn’t have achieved what I have in my career without all those I have had the pleasure of working with, whether in a workplace, as a stakeholder with government departments or as a member of the CIPP.

I am so proud to call myself a payroll professional and to have led so many fantastic teams in both payroll and HR.

My people matter to me. My clients matter to me. I love payroll. I love employment law and HR. It’s just what I do. I don’t know how to be any different. I like to work hard and I enjoy what I do.

Having worked in the industry for more than thirty years, I’m passionate about the work we do and advocate this at any given opportunity, though the pandemic has really raised the profile of our industry.”
