Masters of Payroll scoop top industry award

IRIS FMP scooped the Best Leader Award at a glittering awards night celebrating the best of the best in the payroll, HR, reward, pensions and employee benefits.

With payroll awards still at the heart of the event, The Rewards award ceremony reflects the widening remit of the profession and is the most distinguished event in the industry’s calendar, highlighting achievement and celebrating excellence. The prestigious industry award ceremony has been re-branded this year from The Payroll World Awards, of which IRIS FMP has been a multiple previous winner.

This has been a momentous year for CEO Cottrell, having pulled together three companies into one through an MBO in August 2016. Business is booming and the team is being lead from the front by this enigmatic leader.

He commented: “The Rewards event is a celebration of the best of the best and I’m delighted that we continue to raise the profile of IRIS FMP’s excellence following the creation of the new IRIS FMP group last year.  Winning the Best Leader Award is wonderful recognition from the industry but I could not have achieved anything without the skill and dedication of every single IRIS FMP employee.”

Each year the awards are independently judged and culminated this year in a prestigious black tie dinner and ceremony at The London Hilton Bankside. After a detailed shortlisting process, IRIS FMP was also selected as finalists in the following three categories:-
