What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
SGN's standard payment terms are Nett Monthly but buyers are authorised to negotiate alternative terms with individual suppliers where appropriate. During the reporting period the majority of the terms agreed on POs were shorter than our standard terms - Nett Monthly
Dispute resolution
"1) Suppliers can obtain an update on the status of their invoices by contacting Accounts Payable. Where the issue relates to the approval of the invoice suppliers may be referred to the ""orderer"". 2) Alternatively suppliers can also contact the ""orderer"" directly using the details provided on the Purchase Order "

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
