In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payment terms are agreed on a supplier by supplier basis, as part of contract negotiations. The agreed terms will depend on the type of work, size of the company and product or service purchased. The most commonly used payment terms in the period were: - For suppliers, 45 days from end of month of supply. - For subcontractors, 47 days from date of application for payment.
Dispute resolution
John Graham Construction Limited is committed to fair treatment of all our suppliers and actively seeks to resolve disputes in a timely manner. Dispute resolution mechanisms are discussed and agreed with suppliers at contract negotiation stage. The initial point of contact for any invoice disputes will be the Accounts Payable team, who if unable to resolve, will escalate the matter to the relevant contract / commercial team and subsequently to Senior Management, should this be required. Where it is not possible to reach a satisfactory agreement, other methods of dispute resolution, such as mediation, adjudication, litigation etc. may be used.

What a 35-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 35-day vs a 7-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 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).
