That is 18 statutory periods on record (earliest H2 2017) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms used by Druck Limited are 120 days calculated from the date of receipt of the invoice.
Dispute resolution
Disputes are referred to sourcing by staff and Accounts payable. Sourcing engage with the supplier to agree payment terms.
Other information
Within 49% of invoices due not paid within agreed terms, 61% of those were in respect of invoices that have been set up in the ledger with zero days payment terms to allow these invoices to be paid on the next available payment run. These invoices therefore distort the reported figure as they are included as not being paid within agreed terms. The terms are set at zero following management’s decision to pay these invoices on the next available payment run. Of the 61% set up with zero days payment terms more than 99% are Intercompany invoices. Removing Intercompany, the external invoices due but not paid within agreed terms is 39%.

What a 93-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 93-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 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).
