What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
MP Moran had various supplier payment terms ranging from a 7 day account to a 60 day account. This also includes various settlement discounts for paying in agreed times. The most common payment terms are 30 days at the end of the following month accounts.
Dispute resolution
We follow a flow chart for approving invoices and this shows us what to do when a query occurs. A query can either be an internal one in which we will resolve ourselves in speaking to the correct department, or an external one where we are waiting on documents from the supplier i.e. a proof of delivery or credit note. We will contact the supplier before the invoice falls due, make them aware of why the invoice is on hold and request what is needed in order to make payment. We do not pass any invoice that does not match our Purchase Order.

What a 43-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 43-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).
