The read · computed from their figures
Burlingtown UK Limited's H2 2025 filing puts their average at 17 days against stated terms of 30 days; 1% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 0% took 61 days or longer. Filed 9 Feb 2026.
The direction is slower: from 9 days in H2 2022 to 17 now — 8 days slower across their last 6 reports.
On the latest reported averages: Faster than 94% of the 245 large companies reporting in transport & storage.
That is 15 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The Company's policy is that invoices received and approved before 11th of each month are paid on or around 15th of the month. Suppliers are informed of this policy and are encouraged, as far as they can, to align their invoicing procedures to ensure payment can be made within the shortest period. In addition, direct debit arrangements are put in place for many regular suppliers (e.g utilities).
Dispute resolution
In the rare occasion we would have a dispute we would contact the contracting manager and compare the service provided with the service offered and come to an amicable arrangement. I am not aware of any serious dispute in the last year where there has been an issue.
Other information
Note that although not related to payment terms I can confirm that the Company from 1 January 2026 will no longer fall within the required parameters to report payment terms so this will be the last report issued.

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).
