Dispute Resolution Process

If there is a dispute with a supplier regarding payment of a purchase invoice, the supplier is advised to contact the business by either telephone or email. The query will initially be dealt with by one of the accounts team responsible for the payments and escalated to a supervisor as appropriate. We aim to resolve disputes within seven days.
