CPL Topco Limited's H1 2023 filing put their average at 24 days against stated terms of 30 days; 19% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 1% took 61 days or longer. Filed 17 Jul 2023.

In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
30 days from Invoice date, if the invoice is received before the cut off date for the payment run. If not, the invoice is included in the next payment run.
Dispute resolution
Invoice is put on hold if the charge deviates from contract. The buyer will attempt to resolve the dispute with the supplier. If an agreement is reached, payment is made. If not, the supplier issues a credit note to settle the dispute.

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).
