Any other information about payment terms

Our business closes for 2 weeks over the Christmas / New Year period. This has an adverse impact upon our length of time taken to pay during that period, in particular purchase ledger invoices.

Dispute resolution process

We are committed to resolving any disputed invoices quickly. We perform monthly purchase ledger reconciliations to highlight any invoices which are not on the ledger and to request these from suppliers. Separately, we also actively pursue goods received notes and service reports from suppliers. However, where it is not possible to reach agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods (for example, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and / or arbitration) may be used.
