Dispute resolution process
Where we have a dispute with a supplier we will communicate our reasoning to the supplier. This would normally involve as face to face meeting. During this communication with the supplier we would also listen to our suppliers view point. We always endeavour to deal with any issues in a controlled, professional and supportive manner. Where appropriate we would endeavour to reach a compromise with the supplier which is fair on both parties.
