Any other information about payment terms
During these difficult times, we have made sure that if we have been paid early for any contract we will pass that benefit on to our supply chain. To this end, we have paid some of our suppliers/subcontractors earlier than their payment terms dictate.
Dispute resolution process
Any disputes are usually sorted by the person who raised the order for the goods/supply from the supplier/subcontractor. Should this not be possible a Senior Manager will try to resolve & in the rare event of no resolution a Director will attempt to resolve the issue.
