What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company’s standard payment terms for its suppliers are for correct invoices to be paid on the next weekly payment run following 7-60 days from the date of invoice except where otherwise agreed between the company and the supplier.
Dispute resolution
In the first instance all queries raised by suppliers regarding payment, outstanding invoices or deductions will be dealt with by the Accounts Payable team. If required, the Accounts Payable team will investigate the matter with other parties such as depots or distributors. Queries that remain unresolved will be passed to the senior management team when required.

What a 51-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 51-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).
