Luddon Construction are committed to dealing with our suppliers in a fair and professional manner. We aim to create close relationships withour suppliers which enables us to deal with any disputes quickly and effectively. Supplier disputes are dealt with initially by the Purchase Ledger department and the Buying department. If the dispute cannot be resolved it is then escalated to the Financial Controller and the Procurement Manager. If the dispute is still not resolved then it is escalated to a Director.
Subcontract payment disputes are dealt with initially by the Quantity Surveyor for the project. If the dispute cannot be resolved then it is escalated to the Divisional Quantity Surveyor. If the dispute is still not resolved it is escalated to the Commercial Director.
In severe cases when the dispute cannot be resolved as described above, the case will be escalated to be resolved using methods such as adjudication and arbitration.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.

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.
