Meet Stuart: Our Head of Payroll and Pensions
What is your current role and what do you enjoy most about it?
My role at Delt is Head of Payroll Services, I joined in 2018 having worked in Local Government. I started working in payroll many years ago after falling into the profession by chance and have had many roles since. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
I enjoy the fast paced and ever evolving nature of my work with Delt, it allows me to work with a great group of people to deliver services to our partners and customers.
What do you do on a typical day?
Every day is different. Some days can involve routine tasks linked to our customers payroll processing such as payments and returns. Other days can involve checking our performance meets Service Level Agreements and talking to our customers about our services.
Payroll and Pension is an ever-changing world and needs constant monitoring of development and changes to ensure that any changes in our processes or systems are planned and communicated to our stakeholders.
What has been the highlight of your career with Delt so far?
Having work for the company for many years there have been lots of changes and challenges, I enjoy the sense of empowerment to make decision about running my service for the benefit of customers and colleagues.
A few significant highlights would be the introduction of salary sacrifice schemes for pension savings and implementing a facility to earned wages before their normal pay day for our employees.
The biggest highlights have been the ability to add new customers, the scope to invest in my colleagues and see them growing in their roles.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work I enjoy keeping fit either at the Gym or cycling on my new Electric Bike that I’ve just bought through our Cycle to Work scheme. I enjoy travelling with my wife (now our two children are adults and do make occasional withdraws from the Bank of Mum and Dad), we are big fans of Greece and Italy, the climate, the people and especially the food.
Stuart Hingston, Head of Payroll and Pensions
