What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The standard payment terms are weekly, no earlier than 56 days after the date of delivery. The reason payment terms are “no earlier than 56 days” is to allow for our main weekly payment run to capture invoices due and allow for cash to be received into the supplier’s account. However, there are non-standard supplier payment terms which can be shorter and longer than the standard terms. In certain circumstances a supplier may seek to impose its own payment terms, and in other circumstances, a bespoke contract may be agreed.
Dispute resolution
The Accounts Payable team work closely with our buying team and our suppliers to keep disputes to a minimum. The Accounts Payable team will investigate the query and advise the supplier of the resolution needed. If necessary, we have an escalation procedure via our Accounts Payable Manager, Head of Accounts Payable or our Finance Director.

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).
