What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Many of our stock contracts with our suppliers have payment terms of 60 days. Most other contracts have payment terms of 30 days.
Dispute resolution
Complaints are sent to either directly to the Finance team at [email protected] or to the contact within the business, who forwards them to Finance. The invoice in question is reviewed and we respond to the complaint to explain the delay (e.g. if due to a dispute) or to notify them of a planned payment date. Complaints / follow-ups are usually responded to within a couple of working 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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
