Dispute resolution process

Wernick Hire Limited takes a pragmatic approach to resolving disputes with suppliers by following a set resolution/escalation process. Queries are initially dealt with by members of the Accounts Payable and Credit Control teams. If a satisfactory agreement is not reached, it is then passed on to members of the Senior Management team to assist. In the unlikely event that a successful resolution has not been attained by this stage, the matter is then referred to the Executive Management Team for conclusion.
