activpayroll, the leading global payroll and employee mobility solutions expert headquartered in Aberdeen, had a triumphant evening last Thursday as awards were won at two separate ceremonies. CEO of activpayroll, Alison Sellar, took home the Female Business Leader of the Year Award at the Scottish Business Awards, while activpayroll won Best Company to Work for in Payroll at the Payroll World Awards.
The Scottish Business Awards, which took place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, recognised and awarded a host of Scottish business leaders. Hollywood sensation, George Clooney, kicked off the evening by addressing an audience of over 2000, before sitting down to enjoy the ceremony with some other famous faces.
The Female Business Leader of the Year Award was presented to Alison by Rob Brydon, Judy Murray and Chris Evans for her exceptional commitment to continually strengthening her team of payroll experts at activpayroll and for encouraging fellow female entrepreneurs to follow their vision.
On the same evening at the Payroll World Awards in London, activpayroll won Best Company to Work for in Payroll. This accolade was awarded to activpayroll for its employee engagement initiatives, high satisfaction levels and the recent launch of the first in-house payroll training academy in Scotland.
Alison Sellar, CEO of activpayroll, said: “I am absolutely thrilled to have won the Female Business Leader of the Year award, it is an enormous honour to be recognised for the work I do in this industry. We are delighted to have won two awards in one evening, especially being up against such tough competition in both categories. The Payroll World accolade wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated team that work for activpayroll, therefore I would like to thank every single one of them for making this happen and the continued passion they show towards their job. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our vision and values are at the core of everything we do, while delivering the highest possible standard of service to our customers. These award wins validate our continued commitment to our ever-growing global organisation.”
