Ciphr has been shortlisted for Payroll and HR Technology Provider of the Year and Best Company to Work For at The Rewards 2026. 

Winners will be announced in September.

The Reading-based HR, payroll and benefits software provider recently won Thames Valley Tech Company of the Year and High Growth Tech Company of the Year at the Thames Valley Tech and Innovation Awards.

Sion Lewis, CEO at Ciphr, said: “We are delighted to be recognised as one of the UK’s top HR and payroll tech providers, and one of the best companies to work for in the country. 

“That’s an impressive double accolade, and we’re very honoured to be shortlisted by The Rewards.

“These awards recognise the whole Ciphr team – the people and expertise behind our products, the teams that manage our customer experience, service delivery, implementation, and more, the teams that help power our customers day-to-day operations.”

Lewis added: “I’m really proud of what we’ve already achieved together, and what’s to come.”

Karen Lough, director of people at Ciphr, said: “I’m delighted to see Ciphr nominated for these two key awards.

“We spend our days building solutions that enable other organisations to look after their people, so being shortlisted for ‘Best Company to Work For’ is just as important to us as receiving the nomination for best tech provider. 

“It tells us we’re holding ourselves to the same high standard we set for our customers.”

Lough added: “At Ciphr, employee engagement and sustainable high performance is built by doing the basics well: making sure that employees are treated fairly, are listened to, are doing meaningful work, that they have clear expectations and purpose, the right tools, are supported in their development, and working within a culture that values both results and how they are achieved.
