The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards 2018
On the evening of Thursday 11 October 2018, payroll and pension professionals donned formal attire to attend the CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.
The CIPP’s 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 12 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 Annual Conference and Exhibition and National Payroll Week.
Vickie Graham, CIPP’s associate director of marketing and membership, 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 Alistair McGowan and welcomed him to the stage. Alistair has had an extensive career in almost every area of entertainment. He started his career by providing voices for the iconic Spitting Image and since then has worked extensively in television, theatre and radio. He is famed for his impressions and is, perhaps, best known to audiences for BAFTA-winning The Big Impression . Alistair is also a favourite on our screens featuring on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo , to name but a few. He continues to delight audiences with an ever-changing range of impressions.
Alistair amused the Awards attendees with numerous impressions and quips which he continued to deliver during the presentation of the awards.
