All invoices are received into the Finance Department and recorded on our Accounts Payable system. The vast majority of invoice submissions are made via email to corpukaccountspayable@loreal.com. A matching process occurs to ensure there is a valid, approved and goods receipted Purchase Order. Assuming the invoice satisfies the matching criteria, it is then released for payment. Invoices are sent to the PO originator for approval in the case of any invoice discrepancies. Any disputes are settled between the supplier and the PO originator. Supplier accounts are periodically reviewed for invoice ageing.

L'Oreal (U.K.) Limited is a long-established London-registered company, incorporated in 1932, and forms part of the wider L'Oreal Group. Companies House records its activities as wholesale of perfume and cosmetics and retail sale of cosmetic and toilet articles in specialised stores. Evidence from the L'Oreal Colour Trophy website shows the group also runs the L'Oreal Colour Trophy, a long-running live hairdressing competition organised under the L'Oreal Professionnel Paris brand, showcasing hair colour artistry and talent from UK salons and students. The competition, first held in 1954, culminates in a UK Grand Final and forms part of the group's professional hairdressing education and promotional activity rather than a separate business line of this registered entity.
