What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
As a standard from our suppliers we are provided with a minimum term of 30 days credit for the settlement of their invoices, with a few supplier offering shorter terms of 15 days. The company also has some specialised suppliers whose payment terms are 90 days from eom
Dispute resolution
Any disputes are raised by the company to the supplier and are processed through the purchase ledger department. This is then in turn allocated to the branch responsible for the invoice in query for it to be resolved. Once this is resolved the invoice is then accepted and passed over for payment authorisation or a credit note is requested from the supplier.

What a 61-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 61-day vs a 15-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).
