What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Eaton shall pay invoices within one hundred and twenty (120) days, or other period agreed in writing, from the first batch processing date, after Eaton's receipt of a correct invoice, and the Parties expressly agree to such payment terms. When the Parties are not permitted to agree to payment terms in excess of local legislation, a shorter payment period may be applicable.
Dispute resolution
Supplier queries should be addressed to [email protected]. Queries are allocated a case number and are targeted to be answered within 3 working days. The AP team may seek support for resolution of disputes from the relevant buyer or site contact as appropriate.

What a 76-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 76-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.

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).
