In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days, but we have vendors on 0-60 payment terms. Dealers are on 7 day terms
Dispute resolution
If we are aware of a invoice over due, it is normally as it has not been received, we require a copy and process asap, we do action daily payment runs to avoid any vendor being paid late. We try to respond to a dispute email the same day.
Other information
3rd party vendors - we normally wait until the goods are fully received before we pay to ensure the shipment is received. If we pay late it is normally due to invoice not received, or we do not have the full information from the vendor to process the invoice on time. Sometimes we delay payments to the Intercompany which are 60 days and we maybe in a loan position and these are the high value.

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).
