In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Under BABW's standard contractual terms we commit to the payment of all undisputed sums properly due to third party suppliers within 30 days of receipt of valid invoice. Invoices are received via our central processing centre, accessed at [email protected] and via post.
Dispute resolution
BABW's authorised representatives seek to resolve any issues as soon as possible before invoice is approved for payment. The authorised representative is the supplier's main contact with BABW for the purchases. This is typically the person who has ordered the goods or services and who has been named on the invoice.

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).
