What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We have a standard 30 days payment terms for majority of suppliers unless advised otherwise by our suppliers in which case it would be 14 days or 7 days.
Dispute resolution
If a supplier has a payment complaint they will contact us advising that they have an outstanding invoice or send us monthly statements. Most suppliers are regular so have our email address and send us invoices which automatically get registered on our accounting system. The majority also send us statements which we reconcile with our system. Short deliveries are usually reported to the supplier on the day of the delivery by Purchasing Teams within our properties. Price disputes are also addressed within 7 days and usually with the Purchasing Manager. If for a different department then each department has a “Purchase approver” who is responsible to confirm deliveries and the prices, and they will raise the dispute with the supplier and our Purchasing Manager. Invoices are on hold until

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).
