Dispute resolution process
Adnams plc takes its commercial responsibilities seriously and endeavours to build long term partnerships with suppliers. We aim to treat our suppliers in the same way as we in turn like to be treated by our customers. We therefore strive to resolve invoice queries and disputes within the Standard Payment Period, but where this is not possible will seek to resolve the dispute and make the payment as soon as a resolution has been achieved.
