Annual Excellence Awards

Our Annual Excellence Awards took place at the prestigious Celtic Manor Resort in Wales on 3 October, the CIPP Annual Excellence Awards 2019 is the only UK payroll awards ceremony.

With over 285 pieces of legislation impacting on the industry in the UK alone and over £250billion* collected through National Insurance and tax contributions, payroll and pensions play a significant role in the UK economy. Therefore the professionals responsible for the accurate, compliant and timely delivery of these services within their organisations should be recognised for their important and strategic roles.

The CIPP's Annual Excellence Awards are designed to do just that; recognising the true payroll and pension professionals who have made an outstanding contribution and demonstrated a commitment to excellence in their profession.
