The read · computed from their figures

H.Weston & Sons Limited's H1 2024 filing put their average at 49 days against stated terms of 60 days; 2% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 17% took 61 days or longer. Filed 17 May 2024.

The direction is slower: from 35 days in H2 2018 to 49 now — 14 days slower across their last 6 reports.

That is 6 statutory periods on record (earliest H2 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard Payment Terms are 60 days but this is negotiable by the supplier. If the suppliers are small or grant no credit terms then payment is normally made on the next available payment run. Where suppliers offer additional credit terms H Weston & Sons will pay to those terms.

Dispute resolution

Should there be a reason why the invoice cannot be paid the authoriser of the invoice would contact the supplier to resolve the issue without too much delay avoiding any reason to affect the status of the supplier account and any payment terms. Once the invoice has been resolved it would then be paid on the next available payment run should it have missed its original payment date.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
