What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
A standard payment term does not exist across our supplier base due to the long-standing relationships that we have with our suppliers. The majority of terms are 28th of the month following date of invoice, with a number of suppliers providing settlement discount within their terms which can often shorten the standard terms.
Dispute resolution
We aim to resolve all disputes promptly and will normally do so by raising a debit note for any disputed amount to the supplier detailing the query, followed by contacting suppliers directly. The non-disputed part of the invoice is paid within terms. Invoice disputes are first directed through the accounts payable team who will log the issue and contact the supplier to resolve the dispute, with assistance as required from the relevant branch manager.

What a 44-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 44-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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).
