Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days from end of the month invoice date.
- Dispute resolution process
Adnams plc takes its commercial responsibilities seriously and endeavours to build long term partnerships with suppliers. We aim to treat our suppliers in the same way as we in turn like to be treated by our customers. We therefore strive to resolve invoice queries and disputes within the Standard Payment Period, but where this is not possible will seek to resolve the dispute and make the payment as soon as a resolution has been achieved.
Disputes will be handled by the relevant employee within Adnams plc responsible for the purchase/order in accordance with any specific agreements that maybe in place.
If a dispute cannot be resolved it will be escalated to our Commercial Director for consideration.
Supplier enquiries regarding payments can be directed to the dedicated accounts payable email address or telephone line which is monitored daily.
In addition, Adnams plc will provide suppliers with reasonable notice of commercial delists giving sufficient time to have the decision reviewed.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.
08 Ownership and control
People with significant control
No individual or entity with signficant control
- Notified
- 26 May 2022
PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
09 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
10 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
11 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
12 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
13 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
14 Nature of business
Standard Industrial Classification
Manufacture of beer
Wholesale of wine, beer, spirits and other alcoholic beverages
Retail sale of beverages in specialised stores

A checked source with no exact link is not a clean bill of health. Unchecked sources remain unknown, while sanctions may also apply through ownership or control of a listed person or entity.
