The read · computed from their figures

Perspex Distribution Limited's H1 2026 filing puts their average at 38 days; 25% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 20% took 61 days or longer. Filed 31 Jul 2026.

The direction is faster: from 47 days in H2 2023 to 38 now — 9 days faster across their last 6 reports.

That is 16 statutory periods on record (earliest H2 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

The standard terms of payment are different for different spend categories. In all categories, terms of payment can, by exception, be varied from standard payment terms by agreement between the seller and buyer.

Dispute resolution

If a supplier raises a query in respect of non-payment of an invoice it would initially be handled by accounts payable. If necessary, the accounts payable team will direct the query to the most relevant business area within the company (for example purchasing) to resolve this promptly.

Other information

Terms vary across our supplier base. We make payment runs weekly on a Friday. If the month end date falls within 2 working days of the Friday, that payment would be skipped in favour of payment on the month end date. Invoices falling due between payment runs are paid on the next run. Payment of some of these invoices may therefore end up technically classed as late even though our suppliers understand our payment practice. Other items reported as late represent a mixture of disputed items, supplier invoice errors and suppliers sending invoices late.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
