What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The majority of the Company’s purchases are initiated by the individual factories and overseen by the Procurement function. Under the standard terms operated, Forticrete Limited will pay for goods in the payment run which occurs in the first week following a period of 60 days since the receipt of the related invoice. Suppliers can contact Forticrete Limited to negotiate terms which differ from those employed as standard. Payment is dependent upon validated delivery of the goods and the correct invoicing by the Supplier. If Forticrete Limited has not been correctly invoiced by our standard terms’ payment date, payment will be made in the week following receipt of corrected invoicing.
Dispute resolution
Forticrete Limited seeks to settle all disputes as soon as possible. Should a dispute arise between the parties, the Supplier can contact their Company contact (generally, the factory manager or administrator), who will attempt to resolve the dispute. Escalation to the central Procurement Manager is expected prior to commencement of any legal proceedings.

What a 62-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 62-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
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).
