We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to all parties satisfaction prior to payment being made. In the first instance a dispute should be raised with our Accounts Payables teams – each supplier should have those contact details. If appropriate disputes are escalated to our divisional Financial Controllers and our legal department to find a resolution.

What a 39-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 39-day vs a 3-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
