What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are typically net 30 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise specified in the contract. Invoices are expected to comply with agreed billing requirements, and payment is made via electronic bank transfer. In certain cases, alternative terms may be applied based on contractual agreements, supplier arrangements, or local regulatory requirements.
Dispute resolution
Our standard dispute resolution process involves promptly identifying and investigating any issues in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders. Disputes are first addressed through direct discussion between the parties to seek a timely and mutually agreeable resolution. If needed, the issue is escalated to management or appropriate functions (e.g., Finance, Legal) for further review and resolution.

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).
