Prompt payment isn’t just good practice – it’s critical for small businesses to grow and thrive. Heathrow is committed to doing business the right way, and ensuring we treat the SMEs in our supply chain fairly is a key part of that. The Government has announced measures to crackdown on late payments, a move we welcome. Heathrow is proud to be a Silver Fair Payment Code Awardee and to champion the @FairPaymentCode , reinforcing our commitment to clear, fair and collaborative relationships with suppliers of every size. We’re focused on building a more resilient, inclusive, and future‑ready supply chain, and we make it easy – and exciting – for SMEs to get involved through a range of targeted initiatives, including: 👉 #HeathrowSMEAcademy - Supporting SMEs to build the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to work with major infrastructure buyers like Heathrow. 👉 #HeathrowLiftOff - An accessible, in‑person programme that gives innovative SMEs the opportunity to pitch ideas and collaborate directly with Heathrow teams. 👉 #HeathrowCompeteFor - A platform that opens doors to new opportunities at Heathrow and connects SMEs with a thriving UK-wide business community of over 240,000 organisations. 👉 #HeathrowBusinessSummit - Offering SMEs unparalleled access to Heathrow decision‑makers, Tier 1 suppliers and strategic partners. These schemes have helped see our annual supply chain grow to include 840 SMEs who directly supply the airport, with many more working with us indirectly through larger suppliers.

At Heathrow, we're looking to build a sustainable payment ecosystem throughout our supply chain and welcome the UK Government’s payment law reforms this week. We know that prompt payment is good for business and for the many small businesses we work with, being paid on time is critical to their growth and success. That is why at Heathrow, we champion the Fair Payment Code, operated by for Small Business Commissioner @emmaljones, with all of our suppliers. As a Silver @FairPaymentCode Awardee, we follow the code’s principles of being clear, fair and collaborative – valuing prompt and fair payment at every level of our business. #SMB | #Fairpay | @peterkyle | @biztradegovuk

Leaving London tonight listening to the tunes of the piano at St Pancras feeling amazing. Tonight NNBN’s commitment to fair payment practices was well and truely confirmed as we were recognised with the Gold Award standard of the Fair Payment Code issued and administered by Office of the Small Business Commissioner. Only 100 businesses and organisations were recognised nationally for their payment processes and I was delighted to accept the award on behalf of Marie and I. It was great to see fellow Northamptonshire business MAIAR Ltd recognised and thank you to fellow Gold Awardees Tony Reeves and Alison Reeves for joining me with Liz Barclay the UK Small Business Commissioner for a photograph to celebrate being two of the top 100! We are delighted to champion the Fair Payment Code and look forward to raising awareness in our local business community to ensure micro and small businesses are paid on time. Great to also meet Terry Corby CMgr CCMI from Good Business Pays and to congratulate him on their recognition as well. NNBN is up there with Lloyds Bank, Starling Bank, BT Group and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) in championing the fair payment code and we can be proud. @pays_good @SB_Commissioner @FairPaymentCode
