Better Payment Practice Group appoints new Chairman 14th April 2003

The Better Payment Practice Group (BPPG) has welcomed Clive Lewis, Head, SME Issues, Technical Strategy Directorate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) to the role of Chairman.

The ICAEW is one of 19 members of the Group, which was set up in 1997 as a partnership between the public and private sectors to campaign for a more positive payment culture in the UK. Clive will hold the position of chairman for a year, with effect from the start of April.

Commenting on his appointment, Clive said, “All businesses in the UK can play their part in improving the country’s payment culture. Advisers, including accountants, have a key role to play in bringing about positive payment practice by reminding businesses of the benefits of paying and being paid on time. As Chairman of the BPPG, I am looking forward to helping extend the reach of the campaign, hopefully raising the issue of late payment to the top of the agenda for both the business and adviser community.”
