Cintra HR & Payroll Services, award winning UK leader in flexible payroll and HR systems, is celebrating after being recognised by pre-eminent industry body the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) in their annual awards, held recently at the Celtic Manor in Wales.

Cintra is delighted to have been highly commended in the two most hotly contested categories: Payroll Service Provider of the Year and Payroll Software Product of the Year.

This recognition serves to reinforce Cintra’s fully rounded approach: a first class product supported by outstanding customer service. The judges were blown away by the client testimonials submitted in support of the application and Cintra clients gathered at the evening celebration to endorse the accolade.

These two categories are fiercely competitive with the crème de la crème of the payroll world vying for recognition. Judges narrowed the applications down to a shortlist of seven and eight respectively, so Cintra were delighted to be the only entrant Highly Commended for service.

The recognition builds on a long history of industry success for Cintra, including previous achievements such as its double success at the national payroll awards and its reputation for delivering exceptional customer support across the payroll sector.

Commenting on the award Cintra CEO Carsten Staehr said: “We are absolutely delighted! This is the icing on the cake of an amazing year for Cintra. The CIPP awards are especially dear to our hearts – not only because the CIPP is the pre-eminent industry body but also because success in the awards relies on client testimonials. Our clients are at the heart of all we do and this external validation is an important addition to their ringing endorsements.”

Cintra’s award-winning culture is driven by the expertise of its people, from implementation specialists who help clients achieve a smooth transition to payroll professionals dedicated to ongoing customer success. The business also remains actively involved in the wider payroll community, supporting industry initiatives and events that help advance the profession.

Recent years have seen the company continue to earn recognition for both service excellence and innovation, including industry accolades for customer satisfaction and contributions to the payroll sector. As payroll technology and legislation continue to evolve, Cintra remains focused on helping organisations stay compliant, efficient, and prepared for the future.
