activpayroll receives global mobility provider of the year award

Aberdeen-based activpayroll, the global payroll and employee mobility specialist, has been recognised as ‘Global Mobility Provider of the Year’ at the 2021 Global Payroll Awards.

The dedicated in-house mobility team has been honoured for delivering a seamless and flexible suite of core compliance solutions and planning advisory services to a multi-industry customer base in 154 locations around the globe.

This is the second independent industry award that activpayroll has received in the past two weeks, and the reputation and success of the company goes from strength to strength.

The Global Payroll Awards, hosted by the Global Payroll Association (GPA), is an annual event that has been running since 2016 and is one of the largest global events to celebrate and reward technical excellence, professional development and teamwork within the global payroll industry.



The black-tie ceremony was held at the prestigious Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, England on the evening of Thursday 11th November.

Andy Martin, director of business development, collected the award on behalf of the Global Mobility Team and was supported on the night by activpayroll team members and customers from across the UK.

Sponsored by Western Union, the Global Mobility Provider of the Year award was judged on a number of criteria, including genuine innovative use of technology and redefining approaches towards Global Mobility.

activpayroll’s Global Mobility division impressed the judges by showcasing their ability to excel in all areas, and for consistently delivering the highest standards of knowledge and expertise in the global mobility arena in a unique and practical way, resulting in a truly one stop shop solution for any organisation with an internationally mobile employee population.

Graham McKechnie, global tax director, added: “When we launched the Global Mobility division back in 2003, I could have never envisioned what we have today, the heights we have grown to are absolutely incredible and something I am so proud of my team for.

“We work intrinsically with our Global Payroll offering and the teamwork ethic around the globe has provided the foundation for the success of activpayroll’s Global Mobility division.

“To hear that the GPA received a record number of submissions this year (doubling those received in 2020) makes this achievement even more significant and one that should be celebrated by every single person in the activpayroll network.”
