What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We have a range of payment terms that vary by supplier. These range from invoices that are due immediately to invoices being due 92 days. We do not have daily payment runs but our suppliers on immediate terms are paid on the first available payment run once their invoices have gone through the relevant approval process.
Dispute resolution
The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. The nature of the query is identified and the Accounts Payable Team work closely with the buyer, orderer or supplier to resolve queries as quickly as possible. Reporting of overdue payments is a key management control which is reviewed by the Finance Director every two weeks.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
