Richard Wilson to serve second term as Better Payment Practice Group Chairman

The Better Payment Practice Group (BPPG) has announced that Richard Wilson, Head of Business Policy at the Institute of Directors, has been re-appointed as Chairman.

The Institute of Directors is one of 18 member organisations that form the BPPG, the cooperative forum of representatives from the business community and Government that seeks to help improve the payment culture amongst organisations trading in the UK.

Richard has been a member of the Group since 1998, having joined shortly after its inception. Commenting on his appointment, Richard remarked: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to spend a second year as Chairman of the Group. The Group has worked hard to remind companies, large and small, of their responsibility to the business community. I am particularly encouraged by the Group's findings that a growing number of businesses are using the Late Payment Legislation as a deterrent. When used in conjunction with strong credit management techniques, it acts as an effective tool to improve the payment culture amongst businesses in the UK. I look forward to helping the Group build on the success it has achieved to date."
