In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We have differing terms for each supplier, but our most common standard contractual length of time for payment of invoices for our UK suppliers are 30 days from document date and 30 or 45 days from the end of the month that the invoice is dated. We also have a large number of suppliers based abroad, where our payment terms differ from those in the UK. Our standard contractual length of time for payment of non-UK invoices range from deposit payments to 90 days from date of shipment of goods.
Dispute resolution
If there is a dispute with a supplier regarding payment of a purchase invoice, the supplier is advised to contact the business by either telephone or email. The query will initially be dealt with by one of the accounts team responsible for the payments and escalated to a supervisor as appropriate. We aim to resolve disputes within seven days.

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).
