Any other information about payment terms

The "Percentage of invoices not paid within agreed terms" statistic is a function of our weekly payment routines. On the payment run dates the majority of the invoices will therefore be technically overdue by a few days; hence our average payment time being only 37 days.

Dispute resolution process

Any disputes are dealt with in the first instance by either the Accounts Payable team or through the department that originally agreed the contract. If a resolution can not be found it is then escalated up to senior management and ultimately to the Directors.
