In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company's standard payment period is the contractual payment period set out in the supply contract. These vary between contracts and are typically as follows: For goods purchased from consumer suppliers payments are made the same working day for goods received on monday to friday before 2pm. If goods are received after 2pm, the supplier is paid the next working day. For goods purchased from other suppliers payment is made within 30 days following the end of the month of the invoice date.
Dispute resolution
If a supplier should for any reason have any complaints they can contact the relevant department dealing with their order or [email protected]. All complaints correspondence is dealt with via email or letter and the company will acknowledge and respond to the initial complaint within two working days. If a supplier is not satisfied with the response they can appeal against this. The company will respond to all appeals within three working days and issue final response

What is a Payment Practices Report?

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).
