Any other information about payment terms
Cooplands request that all invoices are either posted to our head office at Caxton Way, Pindar Business Park, Eastfield, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO11 3YT, or emailed to invoices@cooplands-bakery.co.uk. We ask that suppliers only send invoices to one of these, as sending by email and post can cause duplication on our purchase ledger, which can result in delayed payments.
Dispute resolution process
Any disputes over payments are first raised with our accounts team at the head office in Scarborough. This can be by post to Cooplands Bakery, Caxton Way, Pindar Business Park, Eastfield, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO11 3YT, by phone 01723 585222 or by email to h.barnes@cooplands-bakery.co.uk.
This is then investigated by the accounts team, who will contact the buyer in Cooplands if there is a query on the invoice. Any queries relating to the goods or services will then be dealt with by the buyer, before either authorising the invoice for payment, or contacting the supplier to resolve the reasons why the invoice has not been authorised for payment.
