As commented within our submission in July 2018, The Restaurant Group (UK) Ltd immediately amended our payment practices to ensure a greater proportion of our suppliers and distributors are being paid within terms. This change in practice is apparent given the improvement to 17% of suppliers and distributors paid within terms, from 22% as reported previously. Given this change was implemented part-way through the current reporting period we anticipate a further improvement when we report in July 2019.
