Michael Howard, founder and Managing Director of Frontier Software plc, has collected a prestigious award at the Global Payroll Association (GPA) Awards held on 8 June in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Described by the GPA as a ‘disruptor in the payroll industry’, Michael was presented with the Judges Award, in special recognition of Frontier Software’s 40 years in the provision of payroll software and services worldwide.
At the event, which celebrates the global payroll industry, a delighted Michael collected the award from CEO Melanie Pizzey and judges David Spencer and Ana Ronco-Dumas. Michael, who founded Frontier Software in 1983, said he was honoured and especially proud to receive the award during the company’s 40th Anniversary celebrations.
Michael flew in from Melbourne, Australia to celebrate with solution providers and payroll professionals from across the globe, and then departed the next day for the office in Manila, Philippines.
Upon accepting the award, he thanked both the GPA and judges for recognising his active role within the payroll industry, and the work of Frontier Software, saying: “I am very proud of the company and all that it has achieved.”
He added: “Payroll is critical to every business and across 40 years Frontier Software has never stood still. There is always more that we can be doing, and we must keep listening, learning, and developing our solutions in line with the technology, legislation, and the demands of existing and potential new customers.”
In a market where providers come and go, Frontier Software has remained a constant that can be relied upon and trusted to deliver when it comes to payroll software and services.
With a focus on payroll and HR and an ambition to provide first class products and customer service, the company goes from strength to strength with the indefatigable Michael Howard at the helm!
