ENROL TODAY
Overview of your career, work history and background I’ve had quite a varied work life. I started work age fifteen at a local pet store moving to a local electronical repair company as a field service engineer repairing various electronical goods across the midlands and Wales. Before joining the CIPP I worked with my uncle doing garden machinery repairs, fixing all sorts of machines and engines. When did you first become involved with the CIPP? In 2015, I wanted a change in career and applied for a marketing apprenticeship at the CIPP. I was lucky to be given a chance even though my background wasn’t relatable at all. Since joining I have progressed through the Institute to become the marketing and membership team leader which is a job I thoroughly enjoy and find extremely rewarding. strategy for membership and marketing for our products and services. We have a real focus lately on developing our offerings to ensure members are getting the most out of the Institute. We’ve recently implemented the #BePayroll campaign as a way to get members involved and tell us how being a member has helped with their professional and personal lives. I get to be involved in all areas promoting the vast offerings we have and developing the campaigns. I get to play a vital part in showcasing our products Tell us about your role at the CIPP My role is all about implementing the
and services and to help in implementing strategy.
What do you think you can bring to the future strategy of the CIPP? Since joining the CIPP there have been several changes that I like to think I’ve had involvement in ensuring were made possible. I have a lot to offer the CIPP and the future strategy as we focus on growing our membership and the benefits offered. I write this shortly after a strategy meeting looking at the next few years’ focus – all I will say for now is watch this space. What does the future hold for the future of payroll, pensions and reward? I am constantly hearing at the moment about artificial intelligence and its place in the payroll world, so this is definitely on the horizon for the profession – it will be interesting to see how this ends up looking. I can say with certainty that the CIPP will be in the profession’s future to offer a helping hand. What do you do in your available time to unwind? While away from the office I enjoy spending time with my son, fiancé and pet labrador – having become a father for the first time, last year. I do various strongman and powerlifting training which is something I got into a few years ago. It has become a real passion of mine for various reasons, one of which is that it allows me to consume vast amounts of food and get away with it. n
