Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

We have suppliers with different agreed payments terms, some shorter, some longer, and we abide by all payment terms based on the timely submission of satisfactory invoices. Our standard terms are end of month following the month of invoice. This means that payment will be made, by BACs, on the last Friday of the month, following the month in which the invoice is received. As a result of this review, we are committed to making further improvements.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
