Dispute resolution
The Company has a 3 tier resolution process to resolve any disputes and invoice queries with its supply chain on a timely basis. The first tier involves Divisional and Operational staff who should be contacted in the first instance. The 2nd tier would involve the respective category manager and finally if disputes/queries still can't be resolved it can be escalated to the Supply Chain Executive. To help resolve disputes and queries the Company may request further information. This is the principal area of delayed payment over agreed terms. As part of our drive towards increasing the level of e-invoicing we encourage our supply chain to transmit their invoices via our dedicated electronic EDI / Web portal. Vendors submitting invoices via these methods can track receipt of their invoice and
Other information
The implementation of a new ERP system in January 2026 has adversely impacted the payment practice reporting in the period due to downtime during the first two months whilst data was being migrated, as well as the business adapting to new procedures around the purchase to pay process. We expect to return to our usual level of reporting statistics during the 2nd half of 2026 with the aim of reaching 95% of invoices paid within 60 days.

What a 31-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 31-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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).
