Standard payment terms
“It is the policy of the organisation to agree appropriate terms of payment with suppliers during contract negotiations. We aim to adhere to these terms in all cases subject to suppliers producing satisfactory invoices in a timely manner. Where payment terms have not been negotiated and agreed in advance, we aim to pay suppliers on the last working day of the month following invoice. This would be payment within a maximum of 60 days from invoice date and a minimum of 30 days with an average of 45 days. As a family owned business that has been trading for over 50 years we have very strong relationships with both our customers and suppliers alike and in circumstances where payment needs to be made outside of the usual monthly payment cycle we will always look to accommodate an earlier payment if possible”.

Dispute resolution process
“The organisation is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner whilst seeking the best value for the business. We always seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to the satisfaction of all parties prior to payment being made. Any queries should be sent to purchaseledger@holdcroft.com initially where we would aim to respond within 5 working days. In the event that the dispute could not be resolved by our Accounts Payable department, it would escalate in the first instance to the relevant head of department to seek resolution.”
