What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The Company is committed to the principles of the Fair Payment Code and to maintaining transparent and equitable payment arrangements with its suppliers and subcontractors. Payment terms are agreed with the supply chain partners and quoted on each purchase order but are typically: 19 days from certification date on certain public sector frameworks. 30 days from valuation on a number of other major frameworks. 42 days from the valuation date for supply of other works partner services. 30 days from invoice date for the supply of other goods and services.
Dispute resolution
Willmott Dixon prides itself in fostering open and strong relationships with its supply chain partners. Suppliers are provided with key contact details for each project and every local office employs a Supply Chain Manager, Finance Manager and Commercial Director who monitor payments and provide an escalation route in the event that any dispute or payment issue arises.

What a 28-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 28-day vs a 14-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.

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).
