Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days after receipt of invoice. We hold individual agreements with some of our suppliers for differing terms ranging from immediate to the standard 30 days, and also direct debit payments.
Dispute resolution
The Company has a dedicated accounts payable team, which can be reached by Email or Phone. Suppliers with invoice queries need to contact this team, and if the accounts payables ream is not able to resolve they escalate the issue to the buyer associated with the invoice. Disputes are handled by a combination of the accounts payable team and the buyer’s department who placed the order, and will be escalated to senior management if it cannot be resolved satisfactorily.

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).
