In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard Payment Terms Mowi Scotland Ltd has standard payment terms of 30 days from invoice date. This applies to the vast majority of suppliers and covers both operational expenditure and capital expenditure. Mowi Scotland Ltd has agreed shorter payments terms under the following circumstances: • New suppliers • Local small suppliers • Where a capital project has been negotiated to enable competitive pricing • Specific item purchases There were no changes to the standard payment terms during the reporting period
Dispute resolution
A dispute on payment would arise if the purchased item did not meet the standards required, arrived damaged or was not fit for purpose. The requisitioner would attempt to resolve the dispute with the supplier and may withhold some / all of the payment due – the supplier would be informed by phone. The requisitioner would report any unresolved dispute and the reason to their line manager in the first instance who would, in turn, make a recommendation to the Finance Director or Managing Director. Decisions on withholding payments are made between the Finance Director and the Managing Director.

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).
