Any other information about payment terms

A payment run is performed each week, depending on when invoices fall due some may miss the weekly run and be paid the following week. Holchem has very few disputes with suppliers regarding late payments. Any issues that are brought our attention are dealt with as soon as possible.

Dispute resolution process

Disputes are usually dealt with by the accounts payable team. Attempts are made to resolve disputes as soon as possible in order to not hold up payments and supply of goods/services. Should accounts payable not be able to resolve the dispute other members of staff will intervene as appropriate.
