Cal Partners Awarded Gold by the Fair Payment Code

The Fair Payment Code has awarded Cal Partners the Gold standard in recognition of their commitment to quick and fair payments to suppliers.

Cal Partners achieved an average of 4 days to pay 100% of their clients, achieving above the Gold standard requirements of paying 95% of suppliers within 30 days.

The Fair Payment Code encourages best practice when it comes to payment performance. In 2023, 15% of small and medium-sized businesses cited cash flow and late payments affecting the running of their business.

To achieve Gold, Silver or Bronze awards, a business must demonstrate that it adheres to fair payment principles, which include paying at least 95% of all invoices within 30 or 90 days. 

Director of Cal Partners, Chris Lucarelli, said: 

“This award recognises our prompt internal practices and aligns with our business values - we treat our clients and partners as we’d expect to be treated.  This not only helps our suppliers' businesses and strengthens working relationships but also benefits the wider economy.”

As a small, growing business, Cal Partners is committed to making timely payments to ensure suppliers' cash flow cycle is not disrupted.
