What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Template contracts or purchase order terms with a standard payment period of 30 days are in use. Suppliers are aware of this payment period when reviewing terms and conditions and the associated process of quoting an order number when submitting an invoice. We also advise that Ecclesiastical will be liable for late payment charges should we pay invoices late.
Dispute resolution
An invoice received that is not able to be processed and paid (potentially due to various reasons) will be passed to the business owners for confirmation on the resolution. All invoices must be emailed to [email protected] or posted to Ecclesiastical Insurance, Business Payments, Benefact House, 2000 Pioneer Avenue, Gloucester Business Park, Gloucester, GL3 4AW.
Other information
The % of invoices not paid within the agreed terms is 25%. However, 84% of invoices are paid within 30 days. Ecclesiastical have a number of arrangements with suppliers have immediate payment terms. In most circumstances, the company considers it out of the ordinary to have immediate payment terms as this doesn’t allow for processing and clearing. The company is reviewing supplier arrangements to consider if this can be addressed.

How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
