What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms vary significantly across the business depending on the type and nationality of the supplier. Our payment terms range between 7 and 90 days. We try to use local suppliers where possible. 53% of our invoices were paid using end of month plus 30 days terms, with our next highest group being 33% of our total being paid at 30 days terms.
Dispute resolution
Relationships with suppliers are held by individual senior managers throughout the business. Should a supplier complaint arise, this will be considered in the first instance by the senior manager of the relevant department. In the unlikely event that this does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, the matter would escalate to the Managing Director.

What a 40-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 40-day vs a 7-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).
