What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard terms are 30-90 days following receipt of invoice This has been extended to 120 days by key goods suppliers during the H1 2026 period
Dispute resolution
As part of our dispute resolution process, we seek to identify and raise an invoice query with the supplier within a short, agreed time limit from the receipt of the invoice. Following this we have a dedicated multi-disciplinary query resolution team that works with the supplier to resolve queries to the satisfaction of both parties. It is our policy to withhold payment from suppliers until any query or dispute is resolved but once a resolution has been attained, we make prompt payment a priority.

What a 56-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 56-day vs a 1-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.

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).
