What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
David Lloyd Clubs Limited (“DLC”) typically pays all its suppliers within 30 days. DLC makes weekly payment runs to clear supplier bank accounts each Friday. The payment run parameters are set to select all undisputed invoices that are due for payment one week following the Friday clearing date based on the supplier payment terms held within the supplier master record. Variations to these standard payment terms are by exception only: • Landlords – all rental invoices are paid as contractually agreed.
Dispute resolution
Any disputes between DLC and its suppliers are resolved by negotiation and are typically managed by the club general managers and club administrators. If disputes cannot be resolved in the first instance they are escalated to the Head of Procurement who shall use reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.

What a 27-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 27-day vs a 5-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).
