What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days unless specified otherwise.
Dispute resolution
f a dispute or query arises in relation to an invoice, the matter is referred to the relevant Purchase Order (PO) raiser and/or approver for investigation. They will liaise with the supplier as necessary to clarify and resolve the issue. Pending resolution, the invoice is placed on hold and no payment is processed until the query has been resolved and the authorised approver confirms that payment may proceed. Where an invoice has been issued incorrectly, it is rejected and the supplier is notified of the reason for rejection. The supplier is then requested to amend the invoice and reissue it with the correct information before it can be considered for payment.

What a 43-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 43-day vs a 30-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).
