Payroll professionals recognised at the IAB awards THE CIPP was delighted to sponsor the payroll professional of the year award at the IAB and IAAP UK and International Business and Skills Awards hosted on 6 December at the House of Commons, London. Congratulations to Nicole Hagan-Kidd ACIPP from Armstrong Watson who received the runner-up prize and to Aisling Murray from Intelligo Software. Aisling was nominated by her employer for being a quick learner and committed to improving efficiency within her team, and constantly striving to improve internal processes in order to achieve the best client experience possible. The nomination stated that her exceptional technical ability and customer service skills have enabled her to build strong relationships with her clients which has had a positive impact on her employer’s levels of customer satisfaction. Commenting on her win, Aisling said: “I am over the moon to have been nominated and also to have won the Payroll Professional of the Year award. Winning this award means a great deal to me as it is recognition from my peers of my career achievements thus far. To be recognised as Payroll Professional of the Year proves I was spot on in my decision to specialise in payroll and it makes all the studying and hard work to get where I am now worthwhile. I plan to continue my studies and so this award has definitely spurred me on.”
