[Small Business Commissioner UK @SB_Commissioner]

Small Business Commissioner, Liz Barclay📢

"For our next discussion about the Fair Payment Code, we met with key partners in Glasgow. Perhaps the most thought provoking question posed was: “why work hard for an award from a voluntary Code?” The answer came loud and clear. The benefits to the Awardees’ businesses are huge. Reputation as a good payer builds supplier loyalty. Fairly paid suppliers have certainty and are more likely to invest in improvements. You benefit from those and from more resilient suppliers. It pays to do the right thing."

Great to welcome the Small Business Commissioner Liz Barclay to ACCA’s office in Glasgow this week to discuss all things fair payment with participants from business, government and academia 👏 @SB_Commissioner
