In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We have a wide range of supplier payment terms depending on the nature of the supply and the negotiated terms of each supplier agreement. Non-vehicle supplier payment terms are typically the end of the following month from date of invoice. New vehicle supplier payment terms are dictated by our manufacturers and vehicles can remain in stock depending on the manufacturer for up to 365 days before payment is due. Payment is taken automatically by direct debit usually within 3 to 5 working days after registration of the new vehicle.
Dispute resolution
All invoices are processed by our centralised accounts department. The process involves getting managers to authorise their departments invoices for payment and in the event of any queries arising they will contact the supplier directly to try and resolve the query. If the manager cannot resolve the query it will be escalated to the accounts department and relevant departmental Director to resolve.

What a 33-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 33-day vs a 3-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.

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).
