Shelby Group achieve Gold as the 800th organisation to join the Fair Payment Code
At Shelby, we believe strong businesses are built on trust, integrity and long-term relationships. As a construction professional services consultancy, we work closely with a network of consultants, contractors and suppliers who play a critical role in helping us deliver successful outcomes for our clients. We applied for the Fair Payment Code because we wanted our commitment to fair payment practices to be independently recognised and to demonstrate the standards we hold ourselves accountable to.
As an SME, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy cash flow. Late payments can place unnecessary pressure on businesses, restrict investment and impact the wider supply chain. We believe organisations have a responsibility to pay suppliers promptly and honour their commitments. Fair payment helps create stronger, more sustainable business relationships and supports a healthier and more resilient construction industry.
Shelby is delighted to be recognised as the Fair Payment Code’s 800th awardee. We are proud to have achieved the Fair Payment Code Gold Award, recognising that more than 95% of our invoices are paid within 30 days. For us, Gold status is more than an accreditation. It reflects our commitment to treating suppliers fairly, operating with integrity and supporting the businesses we work alongside. It reinforces the values that underpin Shelby and provides reassurance to our partners that they can expect a professional, transparent and responsible approach when working with us. Prompt payment may seem like a simple thing, but it can make a real difference to the businesses we work with and the relationships we build.
Building Better, Together means delivering value not only for our clients, but for everyone involved in the supply chain. By supporting fair payment practices, we can help create stronger partnerships and a more sustainable industry for all.
