What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 28 days from End of Month of invoice. but exceptions are Wheat suppliers (28 days to 42 days from date of invoice) and Wheat boats (0 days / due immediately to 30 days from date of invoice).
Dispute resolution
The Company advocates a consensual process in achieving dispute resolution, such as mediation/negotiation, in which parties will attempt to reach agreement directly. Pursuing an adjudicative process such as litigation or arbitration, in which a court determines the outcome, is seen as a last resort.
Other information
As a business we will always try and pay to our agreed supplier terms, but we only do a non-wheat payment run once a week which invariably will result in most of our payments appearing late, even if only by a few days. If you take this weekly payment run practice into account and allow 7 days tolerance on the due date, our non-payment % reduces to c10%.

What a 32-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 32-day vs a 0-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
