In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The payment terms for the supply of most of the stock of the company, which is by far the largest category of supply by value, are generally dictated by the supplier as part of the agreement to distribute their products. For other suppliers, payment terms will generally be part of the negotiation for the supply of the product or service, and will be considered alongside price, quality and reliability in selecting the appropriate supplier. The company would generally expect a minimum of 30 day terms, but would normally seek terms of at least 30 days from the end of the month of invoice, which should average out at a term of around 45 days. Once agreed, the company aims to adhere to these terms as far as is practically possible. Payments for stock are generally settled by direct debit. Other
Dispute resolution
Given that disputes over supplier invoices are an unusual occurrence, the company deals with disputes on an ad hoc basis. The company has a centralised purchase ledger department which processes and pays supplier invoices, once they have been logged, and then approved on the operating system by the manager who made the commitment to purchase. Should a supplier fail to receive payment for an invoice as expected, they should in the first instance contact the purchase ledger department on 02380-483100, to confirm whether the invoice has been received and logged, and then whether it has been approved by the relevant manager. In the event that the invoice has not been received and logged, a copy will be requested. An electronic invoice sent by e-mail is acceptable. Should the invoice be logged,

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).
