In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 42 days unless suppliers payment terms are applied which can be longer or shorter than standard.
Dispute resolution
Invoices are matched to PO's on receipt by our Accounts Payable Team. Any invoice variances are sent to the buyer for approval. If the buyer disputes the invoice, the Accounts Payable Team e-mail the supplier with a credit request or a request for proof of delivery typically within 48 hours. Once full credit or proof of delivery has been received, the invoice and any credits are processed ready for payment. If in the meantime the invoice has become due for payment, the invoice is added to the next bacs run (weekly). If the Accounts Payable Team are unable to resolve a dispute or query, the dispute is escalated to the Group Financial Controller for resolution. Invoices not paid within 3 months of due date, are assumed to be as a result of a substantial dispute Wing Yip

What a 29-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 29-day vs a 1-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).
