Karen Batts

Payroll Manager

Our Payroll Manager Karen joined the Edwards team at the end of 2023 and is involved in overseeing the operations of our payroll department. Her day-to-day role involves taking exceptional care of our client payrolls and team queries, as well as advising on payroll legislation.

She is a CIPP member and brings with her a wealth of experience, having worked within payroll over the past 30 years, mainly in a bureau setting but she did work within industry in her earlier years.

In her spare time, Karen enjoys gardening and has been an allotment holder for the past 5 years. She also enjoys spending time with her friends and family, whether that be going for a nice meal or enjoying a lovely day out in Wales visiting her son who is studying at University in Aberystwyth.
