The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards 2022
The night of Thursday 6 October saw the CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards 2022. Payroll, pension and reward professionals got dressed up in style to mark the key event, at the Celtic Manor Resort, in Wales. The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards are the industry’s most prestigious awards, which are given to individuals and organisations who have had the biggest and best impact on the payroll, pension and reward professions over the past year. The night was a roaring success, as some of the true stars of our industry received well- deserved recognition. Following an amazing three-course meal, Ken Pullar, the CIPP’s chief executive officer, introduced the awards, discussing all the hard work payroll professionals have put in over the past tumultuous few years. He also discussed how the profession has had to deal with much to-ing and fro-ing over the past few months. Ken then handed over to business development director, Vickie Graham, to kick off the awards. Vickie thanked the event’s sponsors, and all the judges for assessing the fantastic nominations that the CIPP received this year. It was then time to hand over to this year’s wonderful guest speaker, Clare Balding.
Clare is one of Britain’s leading sports broadcasters, and is known for her love of horseracing, something she spoke about in her opening speech, as her Dad trained some of the late Queen’s horses. She has also authored several children’s books.
Clare’s talents don’t stop there – she is also the winner of the BAFTA Special Award and RTS Presenter of the Year Award, for her expert coverage of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Clare gave a captivating opening speech, and spoke of her varied and interesting life, before turning to present the Annual Excellence Awards 2022.
