We’re proud to share some fantastic news. Our Payroll Manager, Lloyd, has been nominated by the Global Payroll Association for the Student of the Year award at this years Global Payroll Awards to be held on 5 June. Recognising not only his academic achievements but also the drive, professionalism, and leadership he brings to our payroll department every day.

Lloyd’s nomination is a reflection of his commitment to learning and growth, but just as importantly, it highlights the positive impact he has had on our payroll function. Since joining us, Lloyd has brought a can-do attitude, high standards, and a real belief that excellence isn’t just a goal, it’s the baseline.

Richard, Director, said:

“Lloyd’s nomination is richly deserved. He’s raised the bar in terms of what we expect from ourselves and from each other, and the changes he has driven in our payroll department have been transformational. Payroll is no longer an “add on” but a separate service we now offer to businesses nationally. It’s not just about doing things better, it’s about thinking differently, and Lloyd does that with both skill and integrity.”

“As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue building on the solid foundation Lloyd has helped us create. His nomination is a reminder that investing in people—through learning, leadership, and shared ambition pays off in ways that truly matter.”

This recognition comes at an important time in our company’s payroll journey. Under Lloyd’s leadership, our payroll team have become more efficient, more accurate, and more aligned with our wider business goals. But perhaps most importantly, Lloyd has instilled a culture of continuous improvement and a mindset that will serve us well into the future.

Lloyd said:

“It’s an honour to be nominated. I see this as a team achievement. We have worked hard to build a function that’s not just fit for purpose but fit for growth. I’m excited about where we’re heading, and I’m proud to be part of a team that shares the same ambition for excellence.”
