Galliford Try takes its payment responsibilities to its supply chain very seriously and has made significant improvements in its processes over the last three years, including reducing default payment terms to 45 days from date of receipt of invoice.

In response to the latest PPC target to pay 95% of small suppliers with < 50 employees within 30 days, small supplier payment terms have been further shortened. This has led to a substantial improvement in our performance in the 4th Quarter of 2021, compared to the 6 months performance reported below.

Payments in the 6 months to 31/12/21 for identifiable supplier companies with under 50 employees:
30 Days or Less % of Total: 78%
