What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice. Non-Standard terms are agreed with Suppliers and Subcontractors to comply with specific statutory and/or client contractual requirements. Terms agreed range from 7 days to 60 days from month end of invoice received.
Dispute resolution
FM Conway Limited is committed to fair treatment of all its Supply chain partners and actively promotes transparency with swift resolution of any dispute. Any dispute arising, either Suppliers or Subcontractors, the process will involve the Accounts Payable Team and the Procurement function as the first port of call. These functions are co-located in our head office to enable timely resolution. On the rare occasions where it is not possible to reach an agreement suitable to both parties the dispute will escalated to Senior Management. In extreme circumstances other methods of dispute resolution may include but are not limited to mediation, adjudication, expert determination and/or arbitration.

What a 26-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 26-day vs a 7-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.

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).
