In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
It is the Company’s policy to agree appropriate terms of payment with suppliers for each transaction or series of transactions, and to abide by those terms based on the timely submission of satisfactory invoices. The majority of suppliers are paid on 30 day terms.
Dispute resolution
Any dispute is resolved between the accounts department and the supplier. In the first instance disputes will be dealt with by the individuals responsible for the supply agreement, with support from the finance department. Failure to meet resolution will be escalated to the Finance Director.

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).
