How Williams Advanced Engineering Limited compares
Williams Advanced Engineering Limited takes an average of 40 days to pay its suppliers, which is 8 days slower than the UK median of 32 days across 9,336 reporting companies. 73% of their invoices fall outside the agreed payment terms, compared to a national average of 24%.
The “outside agreed terms” percentage measures how often the company pays after its own agreed payment terms (60 days), not against a fixed 30-day standard. A company with long payment terms can still be rated “Good payer” if it consistently meets those terms.
