Trade creditors and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and on-going costs. The
average credit period taken for trade purchases is 30 days. No interest is charged on the overdue trade payables. The
Group has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all payables are paid within the pre-agreed credit
terms.
The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade payables approximates their fair value
.
