"Sepura Limited has a dedicated Accounts Payable Team that offers suppliers support and query resolution. There are two contact methods, email and telephone Monday to Friday. Contact made via email is actioned by one of the AP Team members within 48 hours. Depending on the nature of the query, the majority are resolved within 3 working days. For telephone queries, these are answered immediately and the process remains unchanged. When queries cannot be resolved by the AP Team these are escalated to the Treasury Manager before the Financial Controller for resolutions. However, this very rarely happens. "
