Pro-Direct Sport Limited transacts with many goods and non-goods suppliers across and outside of the UK. We collaborate with each supplier individually to facilitate mutually beneficial payment schedules that takes into account the value, quantity and frequency of orders as well as the specific requirements of the supplier we are working with. Our philosophy in terms of our payment schedules, as with all other areas of our business, is to develop and nurture close and strong working relationships with our suppliers to ensure mutual success in the competitive markets in which we operate. We also adopt a flexible approach to methods of payment in which we facilitate both direct debit and BACS arrangements by prior agreement and dependent upon circumstances. Again, these are aspects that are negotiated between the Finance department and the supplier in the drawing up of the initial contract or in the event of change from time to time. We have seen a 5% increase in invoices paid outside of standard terms when compared with the Jul-Dec 2024 period. We are currently operating at a level of 14.36% of invoices paid beyond their terms compared to 9.25% in the last period. As the Jan-Jun period is when we typically make the majority of our buys we have experienced a high volume of queried invoices in the last period which has prevented timely payment. We have a policy of not paying supplier invoices until stock, pricing and discount discrepancies have been resolved, this has contributed to the increase in the number of invoices paid outside of terms in this period.
Maximum contractual payment period agreed

As part of our dispute resolution process, we seek to identify and raise an invoice query with the supplier within a short, agreed time limit from the receipt of the invoice. Following this we have a dedicated multi-disciplinary query resolution team that works with the supplier to resolve queries to the satisfaction of both parties. It is our policy to withhold payment from suppliers until any query or dispute is resolved but once a resolution has been attained, we make prompt payment a priority.
