Dispute Resolution Process

Material disputes relating to payments with our suppliers are very rare as we will have agreed cost and payment terms prior to the goods being delivered or services being performed. Any disputes or other queries are raised and discussed with the supplier (by the relevant contact in the Lyons Davidson operational or finance team) with the intention of resolving the dispute or query promptly and to the satisfaction of both parties.
