What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are the later of; 14 days from receipt of a supplier invoice, or the supplier invoice terms. This allows for us to maintain the process of invoice approval before payment. We carry out a weekly payment run.
Dispute resolution
Any complaints or disputes relating to supplier invoices are initially raised with our Accounts Payable Department who will refer the invoice to the relevant individual responsible for invoice approval. If the issue is not resolved, it will be escalated to the Commercial Finance Manager and, if necessary, ultimately to the Finance Director for final resolution.

What a 17-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 17-day vs a 14-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).
