Dispute resolution process
The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner while seeking best value for the business. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to all parties satisfaction prior to payment being made. In the first instance a dispute should be raised with our Accounts Payables teams – each supplier should have those contact details. If appropriate disputes are escalated to our divisional Financial Controllers and our legal department to find a resolution.
