Payments to Suppliers

We operate a computerised purchase ordering system and all requests for goods and services (with the exception of any utilities and contracts) are made by purchase order.  A purchase order should always be sent to you; the number on this order should be quoted on all invoices to ensure that there is no delay in payment.

We prefer to pay you by BACS, you will benefit from this as the money is paid directly into your bank account saving you a trip to the bank. We will send you remittance advices by e-mail or fax, although they can be posted too.

A weekly payment run takes place each Friday.  Payments are made directly into your bank account on the following Tuesday, except when there is a Bank Holiday. Payments by cheque usually take longer to arrive because of the delay caused by posting and having to bank the cheque.

Our standard payment terms are 28 days from the invoice date.

Council Tax and Business Rates Refunds

These are processed twice weekly on a Tuesday and Friday.  Payments are currently made by cheque only.
