Payment terms changed
Standard payment terms for new suppliers were changed from 30 days from invoice date to 30 days from month end during the reporting period. Existing supplier arrangements were unchanged unless otherwise agreed.
How suppliers were notified
Payment terms are stated on our new supplier forms which all new suppliers must complete and sign.
Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Under Altro's standard contractual terms for suppliers, payment is due 30 days from month end based on invoice date for valid invoices received.
For those suppliers where early settlement discount is applicable, different payment terms apply. These vary from supplier to supplier and are defined by the individual contracts with them.
The most common payment terms for suppliers for which settlement discount applied in the period was 14 days from invoice date. - Dispute resolution process
For standard contracts we will try to settle in the first instance with negotiations between the authorised representatives of each of the parties.
During this time they should continue to perform their relevant obligations, whilst working together to resolve the dispute.
Accounts payable contact information is provided on all emails and remittances sent from our accounts payable team. Invoices should be forwarded to apay@altro.com for processing.
Where there is no formal contract in place, the above process will also apply. For this purpose the authorised representative will be the supplier's main contact with Altro Limited for these purchases (typically the person who ordered the goods or services and who has been named on the invoice).

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.
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
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.
