What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Puma United Kingdom Ltd's standard payment terms vary depending on the type of supplier. Stock purchases terms vary between 30 to 60 days from the date of invoice. Non stock purchases vary between 7 to 60 days from the date of invoice. Puma United Kingdom Ltd process payments runs on a weekly basis. Although Puma endeavours to always pay invoices by their due date, on occasion this is not possible where the invoice is submitted late or there is a query over the quality or quantity of the goods and services provided.
Dispute resolution
The Accounts Payable team are the initial point of contact in case of any disputes. Accounts Payable can direct the supplier to the appropriate manager, who can resolve the dispute or negotiate a settlement. Once the dispute is resolved, Accounts Payable will process the invoice and payment will follow at the next payment run date.

What a 52-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 52-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.

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).
