What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The standard payment term for most suppliers is 30 days after receipt of the invoice. There is also a quick settlement discount offered by certain suppliers for early settlement of outstanding liabilities.
Dispute resolution
Disputes regarding payments are generally infrequent due to strong controls around the accounts payable process. In the unlikely event of a dispute, the following procedures are followed 1) Disputes or supplier concerns are received in our dedicated AP email inbox. 2) A supplier reconciliation is performed to ascertain the root cause of the issue by the AP team. 3) Findings are discussed with suppliers to clarify any uncertainties and ultimately to reach a negotiated settlement. Based on the outcome, any outstanding liabilities are then settled promptly with authorisation from the Finance lead.

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