Standard payment terms
The Company’s standard contractual payment terms for all qualifying contracts are no later than 45 days after the receipt of an invoice. Other payment terms may apply. Agreed payment terms are reflected in our contractual documentation and accounting system.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No information available
Any other information about payment terms
Although the payment period under the Company’s standard payment terms runs from the date of receipt of the relevant invoice, for the purpose of calculating the metrics for this report, we have taken the date stated on the invoice itself as the commencement date for the payment period, and the statistics are reported against this measure. Consequently, it is likely that the statistics will show a greater level of late payments than is actually the case if strictly applying the standard payment terms. Of the 45% of invoices due but not paid within agreed terms, 100% were made to companies external to the Willis Towers Watson Group. There are no formal disputes with suppliers regarding late payments.
Maximum contractual payment period agreed

Willis Group Limited is a long-established company registered in London, previously known as Willis Faber & Dumas (Holdings) Limited, Willis Faber P.L.C. and Willis Corroon Group Limited. Its Companies House record lists its business as other business support services not elsewhere classified, indicating it now functions as a holding or administrative entity rather than a direct trading operation. Its history and naming show it formed part of the Willis insurance broking group, historically based at Lime Street, London, the traditional home of major insurance market firms. The company remains active, with recent director appointments recorded, but the available evidence does not describe any current direct trading activity beyond its role within the wider Willis corporate group.
