What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Hunter Douglas UK Retail Limited does not have standard payment terms; they range from immediate to 120 days. Payment terms are agreed with suppliers as part of contract negotiations. Payment runs are usually on a weekly basis by BACS.
Dispute resolution
Hunter Douglas UK Retail Limited is committed to dealing fairly with all of its supply chain members. Transparency and swift resolution of disputed items are key principles in this process. The Accounts Payable or Procurement department identifies disputed items. An enquiry is then raised with the supplier stating the disputed items. If the supplier is at fault, credit is provided and the remainder of the invoice is cleared for payment. If Hunter Douglas UK Retail Limited is at fault the error is cleared internally and the invoice is released for payment.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
