Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

We have weekly payment terms for local suppliers and small businesses We have a 20th of the month following month of supply We have an End of the month following the month of supply We part pay our Rates bills over 306days by direct debit We have special terms and pay some suppliers by direct debit ie., Utility suppliers We may enter into arrangements to pay a supplier by percentage of a Gross amount – until the supply is complete We may make staged payments to a supplier until the supply is complete We do not pay any supplier without receipt of a statement (unless there is only one invoice outstanding) This can cause delays as some Suppliers do not issue statements! And need constant chasing

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No

Any other information about payment terms

Ukraine war still causes disruption to supply and pricing issues too. Getting hold of suppliers is very difficult with staff working from home Also, a number of suppliers have their head office in another country, and this does affect communication when requesting credit notes for incorrect pricing or short deliveries or none delivery or incorrect deliveries

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

306

Dispute Resolution Process

During invoice processing it will be determined if there is a dispute with the invoice ie., incorrect prices, short deliveries, none deliveries, wrong goods delivered, damaged goods delivered, return of goods or goods need returning, as Holdsworth did not order the goods delivered Holdsworth email/write and phone the suppliers to request credit notes or collections With large suppliers and suppliers that have their head office outside the UK, this can make our disputes process a very lengthy process – much to our detriment.
