The average time to pay figure was higher than normal in the reporting period as there was a significant volume of Inter-group invoices that were unpaid for a considerable time. This issue has now been resolved and the average time to pay figure should reduce significantly in the next reporting period.
There is no specific process for dispute resolution within the business. Normally, the individual responsible for placing the order with the supplier will be tasked with resolving any queries or disputes. A disputed invoice will be placed in query by the finance team who will monitor the progress with the resolution. We aim to resolve disputes within 30 days in order that any dispute does not affect the supplier payment. If resolution cannot be reached, the departmental manager who is responsible for the employee will assist with resolution, or in extreme circumstances, the Financial Director or Manager Director may become involved.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
