• We work hard to maintain a positive and fair relationship with our suppliers and endeavour to pay all suppliers within their agreed payment terms. - Dispute resolution process
• Invoices displaying a different cost price to the agreed purchase order will be queried with the relevant buyer, if price on the invoice is correct then the invoice will be fully paid, however, if our buyer confirms Selfridges’ price is correct a debit note will be raised and deducted from the invoice at point of payment. Any queries on the related debit will initially be directed back to the relevant buyer and then dispute follows line management escalation within finance team to resolve.
• Invoices received with a quantity discrepancy to items received/not received on system, a POD is requested from the relevant company to prove goods have been delivered. The POD is then sent to our warehouse for validation and dependant on outcome from warehouse: a) Warehouse can confirm goods have not be received using their paperwork, AP will go back to supplier confirming goods haven’t been received and raise the relevant debit and deduct at point of payment b) Warehouse cannot identify a shortage in the delivery, AP to further investigate with stock audit / buying dept, if confirmed goods have been received pay invoice in full. Any queries on the related debit will follow line management escalation within finance team to resolve.

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.

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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
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.
