Kate Otto, Head of Transactional Finance, and Rob Christopher, Onshore FSSC Manager, were proud to attend the awards, which recognised businesses that consistently demonstrate excellent payment practises. This includes paying suppliers within an average of 27 days and setting at least 95% of invoices on time. These awards champion faster payments as a vital way to support small businesses, strengthen supply chains, and build a fairer, more sustainable environment.

Smiths News was one of just 500 businesses to receive the award. This award is a fantastic achievement and a clear reflection of the dedication, discipline, and collaboration across our teams.
