What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 60 days net monthly or 30 days net monthly
Dispute resolution
Suppliers are notified directly of any invoicing queries preventing payment when identified. Once the query has been cleared the invoice is included on the next available payment run. Queries and disputes are initially dealt with by the Accounts Payable team. The supplier can escalate any disputes through their assigned Purchasing Department contact.
Other information
The majority of suppliers are paid once a month within eight working days following the month-end. The company uses this additional time to ensure that invoice queries are resolved and settlement of the full account is made. For the purposes of the above statistics these have been treated as being paid outside of the agreed terms. Adjusting for this timing difference, 96% of invoices are paid within the agreed terms. Those not paid within terms are typically due to unresolved queries by the supplier, late or early delivery of product.

What a 58-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 58-day vs a 30-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).
