In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are that goods and services will only be paid after any issues or queries have been resolved. All invoices are subject to an approval process within their respective departments and must be authorized before they can be paid. Authorized invoices will be paid net monthly on the weekly supplier payment run, except where different payment terms have been agreed in writing with a supplier. Any agreements for reduced payment terms (less than 30 days) will need prior approval from the CFO or Group Treasurer. The weekly payment run includes all Purchase Ledger invoices that fall due at the time or by the time the next payment run is made. Payment of Counsel and other professional fees which are incurred as part of the services provided to our clients, fall outside t
Dispute resolution
Any payment disputes shall in the first instance be referred to the member of staff managing the contract. If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, it may be referred to the relevant head and, where necessary, the firm's Chief Financial Officer.

What a 87-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 87-day vs a 0-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
