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?
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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
