In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company's standard payment term are that invoiced amounts are paid within 30 days of the end of the month in which a correctly rendered invoice is received. Significant contracts are subject to specific credit terms negotiated and set out at the contracting stage and will therefore vary.
Dispute resolution
Any disputes unresolved with the accounts payable department are escalated to the Company Secretary and thereafter, if unresolved, to the Finance Director.

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).
