Standard payment terms
Suppliers are paid net monthly, which is 30 days after the month in which the invoice is received. Subcontractors are paid on average 35 days after payment valuation is received. The company continues to focus on its payment terms for those suppliers with less than 50 employees for whom we are required to pay 95% of invoices within 30 days. During the current reporting period for this supplier group payment performance shows 98% of invoices are being paid within 30 days

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).
