In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
It is the company’s policy to agree appropriate terms of payment with suppliers for each transaction or series of transactions, and to abide by those terms based on the timely submission of satisfactory invoices. The majority of suppliers are paid on 30-day terms for trade suppliers.
Dispute resolution
Invoices in dispute are placed on hold after being notified by the internal purchaser and we seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible. If the initial discussions with the supplier do not resolve the issue, Resource Engineering Ltd operates a complaints service, whereby the query is registered and investigated by the Head of Quality and Director of Risk who are independent to the Accounts Payable Department. Once the dispute has been resolved, the invoice is paid on the next payment run.

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).
