Dispute resolution process
Supplier queries and disputes are to be sent to the Accounts Payable department at the following email addresses: Stock - APSupplierServices@thehutgroup.com, Non-stock - OHinvoices@thehutgroup.com. Stock suppliers have allocated representatives who will liaise internally with the relevant buying team and/or warehouse in order to resolve the query. Non-stock suppliers’ queries and disputes are dealt with by a dedicated ‘Overheads’ team. Emails are usually responded to within two working days. If disputes cannot be resolved by the Accounts Payable department they are escalated within the business as appropriate.
