Standard payment terms

The company pays the majority
of suppliers with a weekly BACS
payment run. All invoices due
and cleared for payment at this
time are processed in the
payment run. Operating a once
a week BACS payment run can
result in invoices being paid up
to one week late which
materially impacts the
company's payment statistics.
90 % of invoices were paid
within 7 days of the due dates
within the period.

Dispute resolution process

Complaints or concerns should

purchase order number and
invoice details. The accounts
payable team will then escalate
to the relevant department to
resolve any outstanding issues
around price, quantity or
delivery.
