Within the IPM Senior Management Team of four, we boast over 100 years worth of combined experience in Expatriate Taxation, International Payroll and Global Mobility management.

Alan Bentley, Executive Chairman

Alan joined the IPM team in 2004 as Managing Director. His main focus is to help Global Mobility professionals to develop and implement a seamless process for transferring their assignees between countries, ensuring compliance at all times. He is highly experienced in HR at a senior level with HSBC and Thomas Cook, including international and executive compensation for local nationals, expatriates, and third-country nationals.

Where Alan adds real value to our Clients (and what makes IPM very different), is that he creates a culture and connection where IPM become a natural extension to the in-house HR teams. We value the relationships we have with our clients and recruit a team with the same vision and passion to build strong, long-lasting partnerships.

His role as MD is to ensure we provide a flexible outsourced service that delivers cost savings, legal compliance, and peace of mind to Clients. Through continuous improvement of our systems and processes, we ensure your HR team are benefiting from time and cost efficiencies, and receive a very personal and responsive service from our highly competent team of experts. This almost inevitably leads to long-lasting relationships that ensure your company is fully compliant, and your assignees and their families arrive at their new destination relaxed, prepared, and ‘ready to go’.
