The read · computed from their figures
FB Heliservices Limited's H2 2020 filing put their average at 26 days against stated terms of 30 days; 25% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 5% took 61 days or longer. Filed 27 Jan 2021.
The direction is slower: from 12 days in H1 2018 to 26 now — 14 days slower across their last 6 reports.
That is 6 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard contractual length for payment of invoices varies depending on the nature of the supply. Previously under Cobham ownership, we were guided to request 75 days as our standard payment terms, where available and appropriate. We do however undertake specific negotiations with suppliers in certain circumstances which may be informed by, amongst other considerations, our own payment receipts profile from ultimate end users of our services and flow down contractual requirements from our own customers (which may require earlier payment).
Dispute resolution
Suppliers are notified of any changes to these policies in writing and during the ordering process for parts and services. Disputes related to payment can be raised by suppliers directly with local finance teams, the procurement team and business general manager either verbally or in writing. Any query or dispute raised is addressed as soon as practical and the supplier engaged as appropriate.

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).
