N/A
Maximum contractual payment period agreed
90 days
Radley + Co places orders based on proto types and samples. These become payable on the outcome of future orders. Therefore settlement of samples and proto invoices varies and can be longer than the normal 90 day trading terms.
Any other information about payment terms
Radley + Co’s overseas suppliers payment terms are effective from shipment date, as orders are subject to long lead times. In addition, during the period being reported, Radley was in ongoing negotiation with its imported stock suppliers to resolve a contractual matter, during this time payments of samples were withheld with agreement with the relevant supplier. This has had an adverse effect on average payment days, excluding the invoices affected by this matter, average payment days would have been 40.
Dispute resolution process
Disputes are resolved by negotiation involving the relevant parties - accounts payable, credit control departments, procurement and sales teams.
