HERTFORDSHIRE CATERING LIMITED reports an average time to pay of 20 days, with 0% of invoices paid outside agreed terms, based on data supplied under the UK Duty to Report on Payment Practices. This reflects payment performance only. This score reflects its most recent reporting period only (2026) -- the same rule applied to every company regardless of how many periods they've filed, so a longer track record is never used to drag a score down. See the pattern of behaviour below for the full 8-period history. It has not yet completed the GBP-14 Diagnostic, so this is not a full Supplier Choice Index certification.
Data source: reported payment practice figures across 8 reporting periods (2019–2026), supplied for this prototype. Score moved from 68 in 2019 to 82 in 2026.
This is a multi-period payment-performance pattern, not a supplier testimonial.
Fast Payment Score, 0–100 — the line rising means faster, more reliable payment over time; falling means it's slipping.
