What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days from end of month. In some instances, payment terms with specific suppliers may vary from immediate payment up to 30 days from end of month, dependant on the underlying good or service, as well as the payment method. The company typically issues batches of payments on a weekly basis. If a payment falls due on a bank holiday or weekend, payments will typically be issued on the next business day. As a result, payments will often be received by the supplier shortly after the due date. In order for payments to be made in line with payment terms, invoices must include the issued Purchase Order number, and all other required documents must also be provided.
Dispute resolution
The company will notify suppliers of any disputes on a timely basis. Any supplier queries should be raised directly with the Accounts Payable (AP) team by telephone or email. Queries will be considered and resolved by the AP team in the first instance, through discussion and agreement with the supplier. If the AP team are unable to resolve the query, then this may be escalated internally to the Finance Team, operational staff, or the legal team, depending on the nature of the query. Further escalation is not typically required. Although the company aims to resolve queries with suppliers in a timely manner, the actual timescale for resolution may vary depending on the underlying query.

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).
