Meet SGW Payroll at The Academies Show NEC

SGW Payroll at The Academies Show NEC: Scaling Your Trust with Confidence

We are thrilled to be exhibiting at The Academies Show NEC in November (Stand J22). This is a critical event where Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) leaders focus on strategy, growth, and efficiency. We know that as a MAT scales, payroll complexity—and the associated risk—doesn't just increase; it multiplies.

At this year's show, we are focusing on how our managed payroll service enables MAT growth by standardising and securing your operations, allowing you to move your finance function from reactive admin to proactive strategy.

Standardisation & Service: The Perfect Balance

Many providers offer software, but MAT leaders frequently tell us the biggest headache with their previous provider was the lack of human contact and support. Our difference is the personal partnership.

We combine our state-of-the-art cloud platform, which provides one clear, consistent record for your entire trust, with a dedicated, accessible payroll expert. This means you never have to deal with anonymous call centres or navigate complex queries alone. You get the confidence of compliant technology paired with a responsive human team who knows your trust inside and out.

This is especially critical when dealing with the unique challenges of the education sector, such as integrating multiple academies onto one system while managing Teachers' Pension (TP) and LGPS complexities at scale. Our platform streamlines the processes, and our team is always on hand to verify and support.

Mark Haase, CEO, confirms this focus: "We’ve listened to what MAT leaders need. They need systems that consolidate complexity, but above all, they need confidence in the people running the service. Our goal is to ensure our clients always feel like they have a partner, not just a provider."

We invite all Academies Show attendees to visit our stand. Let us show you how we turn the potential risk of scaling payroll into a simple payroll that grows with your MAT, all backed by a team you can rely on.
