Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
Brooks Bros (UK) Ltd doesn’t impose standard terms onto suppliers instead choosing to negotiate payment terms with each supplier separately. This results in a variety of payment terms from as little as 7 days from invoice date up to 90 days from invoice date. The two most common, representing nearly 60% of all suppliers, are Net Monthly Account i.e. payment is due on the last day of the month following the month of invoice and 30 days from date of invoice. The latter terms are the most common and are reported here as the company’s standard terms. Early settlement terms are not routinely requested but are sometimes offered. The company considers the timescales involved and the amount offered and takes a view on whether to take early settlement discounts.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute Resolution Process
If there is a dispute about payment, the supplier should contact the Accounts Payable team based at Blackwater Place, The Causeway, Maldon, Essex CM9 4GG in the first instance. Telephone: 01621 877400, email: accounts@brookstimber.co.uk In many cases payment disputes are caused by basic errors such as sending invoices to the site that placed the purchase order rather than to the Accounts Payable team, not quoting purchase order numbers on invoices and failing to issue monthly statements which allow missing invoices to be identified. If there is a question around the price, quality or quantity of supplies made to Brooks Bros (UK) Ltd, it is likely that the supplier will have been contacted by the team that placed the original purchase order shortly after receipt of the goods or services. Resolution of these types of issues often depends on the speed that the supplier works at. Once the dispute is resolved, payment will be made on the next payment run.
