What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The majority of the payment terms contained within the MRP system are 'either' 31 days from End of Month (53% of vendors) and 62 days from End of Month (47% of vendors). This means that an invoice dated/received on the 1st day of the month could take upto 62 days for payment for 31 days EoM vendors or 92 days for payment for 62 days EoM vendors. The main invoice payment run is the final week of the Month paying all invoices due at Month End. (There is a smaller mid-month payment run on working day 14-15 of the month meaning that most supplier invoices are paid either just before or just after the End of Month terms). During the Reporting Period, invoices on Average were paid 11 days late.

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).
