Dispute resolution process

Portakabin Limited values its suppliers and actively seeks to ensure prompt payment to reduce the risk of invoice rejections. We work together with our partners to ensure errors are resolved before payment is due and where this is not possible ensuring the supplier is fully aware of the issue. Any disputes are discussed in the first instance with the members of the accounts payable and credit control departments. Where a dispute needs to be escalated it can be done so via emailing pkyorkinvoices@portakabin.com Root cause analysis of invoice accuracy ensures Portakabin is striving to improve performance in this area.
