In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our suppliers payment terms dictate our payment terms, which can vary from 'upon receipt of invoice to end of the month, following the month of invoice'.
Dispute resolution
Invoices are examined and matched with delivery documentation upon receipt and disputed invoices are notified to supplier. The accounts team can be reached by a generic email address or phone and the issue is aimed to be resolved within 2 weeks.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
