Dispute resolution
Dawsongroup endeavours to pay all invoices within the agreed payment terms, we have a process in place to minimise queries and expediate dispute resolution. Vendors are required to include purchase order numbers (provided by Dawsongroup at the point of order) on all invoices. In the case that an invoice has no PO number quoted our Supplier Liaison department will attempt to manually match the invoice to a PO. If we are unable to locate a PO, Dawsongroup proactively reaches out to suppliers to ascertain the PO number. The dedicated Supplier Liaison department is responsible for resolving disputes with invoices should they arise. We communicate in good faith, in a timely manner and consider each query on its own merits. Vendor’s may contact the Supplier Liaison department directly on

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
