The read · computed from their figures

Lamex Agrifoods Limited's H1 2025 filing put their average at 40 days against stated terms of 60 days; 97% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 7% took 61 days or longer. Filed 4 May 2025.

The direction is slower: from 36 days in H2 2022 to 40 now — 4 days slower across their last 6 reports.

That is 14 statutory periods on record (earliest H2 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Lamex does not enforce its own payment terms. Payments are generally paid to the terms required by the supplier, or negotiated with the supplier, subject to the type of supply, normally within the range stated above. If no terms are stipulated in the supplier contract or invoice then default terms of 30 days are used on the Supplier master data. Payments are made on the next electronic transfer payment run following the expiry of the term days.

Dispute resolution

Invoices are processed on receipt and matched with Purchase Orders. If there is a disagreement between Lamex and one of its suppliers, depending on the nature of the disagreement resolution will be sought by the commercial team responsible for supplier contracts or senior management. Any overhead invoice or any payment queries will be dealt with by the Accounts Payable team.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
