What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Steel Purchases - 60 - 90 days EOM Non Steel Purchases - 30 days EOM We have longstanding relationships with our key suppliers. Whilst some payments made fall outside of the contractual period, we make regular payments to these suppliers on fixed days of the month which are accepted by them.
Dispute resolution
Invoices in dispute are managed by the Accounts Payable Team. If a query cannot be resolved by the team, invoices are referred to the buyer for resolution. Once the invoice is resolved and approved, payment will be made in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions. If this falls outside of these terms, payment is made on the next payment run.

What a 68-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 68-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).
