In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
30 days with payments made at mid month and end of month
Dispute resolution
All disputes are initially dealt with by the Accounts Payable Dept, but if necessary will be escalated to the Group Financial Controller and relevant department head.
Other information
Many payments are collected by direct debit, so timing is outside of the company's control.

What a 21-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 21-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 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).
