Carsten Staehr FCIPP CEO, Cintra HR & Payroll Services
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 do a fantastic job of making sure that the payroll profession achieves the recognition it deserves. 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. All Cintra bureau staff are CIPP qualified and many go on to continue their education to the highest level. Your success here today and your commitment to continuing professional development is a springboard towards achieving the Holy Grail of Chartered membership. In our industry we are constantly alive to new challenges and need to have juggling skills that would be the envy of any top-class circus act. Changes in the pensions arena in recent years have been both significant and challenging and pensions continue to remain high on the agenda. It is therefore a highly sought-after area in which to develop knowledge, understanding and expertise…so this qualification makes you an even more valuable asset than you were before. 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 future challenges with confidence. Cintra are proud 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. This year’s Annual Conference was particularly outstanding. What really makes the Institute great however 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 institutution I have encountered. With your commitment and enthusiasm, I know the future of the payroll profession is in good hands.
...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.
I hope you take pride in the achievements we celebrate today, and I hope you continue to evolve with the help and support of the CIPP and your fellow professionals.
Cintra HR & Payroll Services is proud to support this event and I, personally, am truly proud of each and every one of you and wish you continued achievement and success in the future.
