What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
60 days from receipt of invoice
Dispute resolution
Queries by Suppliers would be made either to the Accounts Payable or Procurement team and would be followed up appropriately to resolve any disputes. Any queries would be deal with immediately at a senior level. We have invoice and dispute resolution in our contracts, where they sign up to our terms and conditions.
Other information
Whilst the reported number of invoices paid late is 39%, this is driven by the timing of weekly BACS runs, and these impacted invoices are not recorded internally as late. Invoices are subsequently paid within the next 5 working days and the true overdue number is 14%

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).
