Any other information about payment terms
Due to the seasonal variations inherent within our
business sector and its effects on cash flow,
payment of invoices outstanding have taken longer
than anticipated at certain times of the year.
In addition, the company has also experienced
difficult trading conditions over recent years and as
a result has fallen behind with creditor repayments.
We are endeavouring to improve our current
position with regard to payment of invoices, and bring our balances outstanding back in line with
expectations.

Any disputes regarding invoices or payments can
