������Ƶ named among UK’s fastest payers with 2025 Fast Payer Award

London, UK – 18th December 2025

������Ƶ has been recognised as one of just 500 companies to receive the 2025 Fast Payer Award from Good Business Pays, a UK-based community interest company that champions prompt supplier payments.

This award is reserved for businesses that consistently pay their suppliers on time, on average within 27 days or less, with 95% or more of invoices paid without delay. In 2025, only 10% of large UK companies achieved this standard, placing ������Ƶ among the very best in the country.

Prompt payment plays a vital role in helping small businesses manage cash flow and grow sustainably, and by paying suppliers quickly, ������Ƶ strengthens ethical relationships across its supply chain, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to being a responsible business. This approach nurtures a stable and reliable network of partners, enabling the company to maintain high standards of service delivery and operational efficiency.

As part of this recognition, ������Ƶ has also received official Fast Payer accreditation, reinforcing that doing the right thing, supporting suppliers and acting responsibly, is central to how the company operates.

John Andre, Chief Financial Officer for ������Ƶ and the wider Life Sciences division of Acacium Group, commented, “We are delighted to receive this accolade. Being recognised as a Fast Payer reflects the strength and reliability of our entire supply chain. When suppliers are paid promptly, they can invest in quality and innovation, which in turn helps us deliver consistent, high-quality services to our clients. This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to building trust and ensuring that every partner we work with can operate sustainably and effectively.”

On announcing the winners this year, Tina McKenzie, Policy Chair of the Federation of Small Businesses, said, “FSB is pleased to welcome the latest findings from Good Business Pays. Large firms that have strived to speed up payments into the accounts of their small business suppliers deserve praise, and we hope small businesses vote with their feet towards these when looking for their next contract.”

The initiative is supported by headline sponsors Intuit, Mastercard, Barclays and Bottomline, with the winners celebrated at a reception in the House of Lords on 7th January 2026, attended by the Minister for Small Business & Economic Transformation.
