What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company has differing standard payment periods depending on the classification of the product or service acquired. Vendors for stock items are generally 60 or 90 days, end of month. The period for fixed asset suppliers are generally 60 days, end of month. Historically other vendors were generally paid 30 days, end of month however the business is moving towards new standard terms of 60 days.
Dispute resolution
Responsibility for resolution of disputes and complaints is jointly held by our accounts payable and procurement teams as appropriate. The aim is to work closely with suppliers to negotiate appropriate resolution in advance of the payment due dates, where possible.
Other information
Quoted number of days for standard period/terms are actually "End of month". For example an invoice dated 1st August, with terms 90 days end of month, would be payable by 30 November.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
