National Federation of Builders says Build UK’s take on top contractor’s payment performance ‘an insult’

The National Federation of Builders has labelled rival trade body Build UK’s stance on the payment performance of some of the firms it represents as “insulting”.

Build UK Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol (pictured) said the release of figures showing how long it takes firms to pay its supplier was a “bold first step”.
