The CIPP awards recognise the best in their field and Armstrong Watson’s nominations - and nominees - were shortlisted in the following categories:

• Nicole Hagan-Kidd (Payroll Administrator) for Newcomer of the Year

• Allison Little (Payroll Manager) for Manager of the Year
• Payroll Service Provider of the Year
• Project of the Year
• Karen Thomson (Director of Group Payroll Services) for My Biggest Influencer

The payroll ‘Project of the Year’ nomination was for the team’s ‘Bostik’ initiative which involved streamlining and automating payroll to an online process, replacing physical payroll files with a cloud equivalent and creating a more secure and efficient service delivery.

Karen will find out who has nominated her on the evening of the event - when all winners will be announced - on Thursday 6^th October at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.
