Azets promotes three to senior roles in Payroll Services   

Azets has promoted three staff in its UK Payroll Services team to newly created roles in the business.   

Claire Brown becomes director of Payroll North, Christopher Waterson becomes director of Payroll South, and Julie Gunnell becomes associate director of Growth for Payroll.  

The promotions mark the latest stage in the development of Payroll Services at the firm, which has seen it grow to a team of 160 people across the UK in five years.

It has also been shortlisted for four Chartered Institute of Payroll, Pensions and Reward Professionals awards this year.     

Stephen Abbotts, director of Payroll Services at Azets UK, said: “These promotions highlight the quality of our people and our culture of rewarding high performers, and our continued growth and the emphasis we place on planning for the future.   

“We’ve created these three new senior roles to help us build on the momentum we’ve built to date and ensure we continue to support to our clients in every sector of the economy and every part of the UK. We plan to create more senior roles in the team as we continue to grow.”

He added: “Businesses are increasingly recognising the importance of Payroll as part of strategic planning and risk management, and we are determined to remain the largest provider of it in the UK while preserving the quality of service that has been the driver of our growth to date.”
