Official Corporate Partners:
At Portfolio Payroll, we’re proud to be official corporate partners of the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) – building on a relationship that spans over 20 years. What began as a long-standing collaboration has grown into a formal partnership, rooted in shared values, trust, and a mutual commitment to advancing the payroll profession.
A partnership built on 20 years of Progress
Since 2001, we’ve proudly served as Headline Sponsor of National Payroll Week, celebrating the industry and the professionals who power it. In 2020, we launched the Payroll Heroes campaign to recognise the vital role payroll teams played in delivering the furlough scheme.
We’re long-time supporters of the CIPP Annual Conference & Excellence Awards, where we launch our UK Payroll Salary Survey, sponsor the Bright Beginnings Award, and connect with professionals from across the industry. In 2024, we backed the first Payroll Live in Manchester and now support the growing series in both London and the North, engaging with payroll professionals at every level.
Now, as official corporate partners, we’re going even further, raising visibility, supporting skills development, and shaping the future of payroll recruitment.
We also use a CIPP-designed Payroll Test in our screening process and offer exclusive discounts to CIPP members, connecting employers with verified, job-ready talent.
