In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company does not operate standard payment terms. The majority of suppliers are on 30 days from date of invoice or 30 days from end of month. However, supplier payment terms may range from 0 days to 60 days from end of month.
Dispute resolution
Questions relating to payment of supplier invoices should in the first instance be raised with the Accounts Payable department. In the case of queries around supply of inventory, the query may be referred on to the Asset Operations department for further investigation. The company always aims to resolve all disputes as quickly as possible dependent on the nature of the query.

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).
