The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) has named Jason Davenport as its new CEO, succeeding Ken Pullar who is retiring after seven years at the Institute.
Davenport has 25+ years of industry experience, including leadership roles in BPO at CMG (now CGI) and NGA Human Resources. He was COO of Capita HRS Division and founded Calendar Consulting Ltd in 2017. He’s also a mentor for “Be The Business” and served as Chair of CIPP board of directors.
He will start his new role on 3 July 2023, after being a non-exec director with the Institute for several years.
Davenport says: “Founded over four decades ago, the CIPP has provided training to thousands of payroll professionals. With 9,500 individuals benefitting from CIPPs services across the country, working both independently as service providers and within businesses, our aim is to provide support and education to the payroll, pensions and reward industries.
“With the government target of achieving a trend growth rate of 2.5 per cent, it’s crucial that we welcome more professionals to the industry, and play a key part in the recovery of the British economy.
“As I have since my first appointment at the CIPP, I’ll continue to champion the incredible work of our team and members, and I look forward to sharing their successes when I start my new role on 3 July 2023.”
