/EINPresswire.com/ Chester, UK (Submitpressrelease123.com – press release) A Chester payroll supervisor has now joined the elite of his profession after being awarded a Foundation Degree in Payroll Management.
But for Nigel Price of motor finance group The Funding Corporation, the honour has come just two years after he enrolled on the course – in contrast to the three years taken by most students.
Nigel, aged 47, was able to short-circuit the normal time required to achieve the degree by demonstrating to the exam body the breadth of his existing expertise.
Based at the Chester Business Park headquarters of The Funding Corporation, Nigel manages the payment of salaries to the firm’s 180-plus employees, and administers the firm’s payroll giving scheme which recently won a top platinum award from the Institute of Fundraising.
He first came to the company eight years ago from a previous payroll management role in Deeside.
The specialist degree Nigel has been awarded from the University of Worcester is run by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals of which he is a member.
The full cost of the course was sponsored by The Funding Corporation, parent company to national car retailer ACF Car Finance, as part of the company’s programme of continuous learning which is available to all group employees.
It involved Nigel, who lives near Wrexham, in a combination of intensive home study and attending specialist lectures laid on for foundation degree students in Birmingham.
