Morson Group has been recognised as one of the UK’s leading large businesses for responsible payment practices, being awarded the 2025 Fast Payer Award by Good Business Pays.
The Fast Payer Award is one of the most respected benchmarks for payment performance in the UK. It is awarded only to organisations that consistently pay suppliers in 27 days or less on average, and settle at least 95% of invoices on time. In 2025, only around 10% of large UK companies met this standard.
The award, which includes Morson Vital, is independently assessed using payment data submitted to the Department for Business & Trade, making the accreditation a robust, evidence-based recognition of best practice.
For Morson, the award reflects a long-standing commitment to fairness, transparency and strong supplier relationships. By paying promptly and reliably, both businesses help protect cash flow for small and medium-sized suppliers, enabling them to operate, grow and invest with confidence.
Good Business Pays Founder Terry Corby commented:
“You are leading the way for the UK’s large businesses and keeping your small suppliers in business. We would describe you as a true customer of choice.”
The 2025 Fast Payer Awards are supported by Bottomline, Intuit, Mastercard and Barclays. There will be a winners reception event at the House of Lords on Wednesday January 7th 2026 from 5pm to 8pm, featuring the Minister for Small Business & Economic Transformation, Blair McDougall MP, who will personally congratulate representatives from winning companies.
From January 2026, UK companies will be required to publish payment statistics in their directors’ annual reports. The Fast Payer accreditation provides a clear, credible way for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to responsible business practices.
This recognition underlines a simple principle that matters. Paying fairly. Paying on time. And doing right by the businesses that help keep critical projects moving.
