The challenge
Keith Hunt Scaffolding faced a daunting challenge when a major client refused to pay for completed services, leaving a significant invoice unpaid. Despite having a well-documented history of successful project delivery, this particular case was deemed a "hopeless case" by the client. The outstanding payment posed a severe risk to their cash flow, impacting their ability to manage ongoing projects and business operations effectively.
Our approach
Keith Hunt Scaffolding came to us as a last resort, seeking assistance in resolving the payment dispute. We began by thoroughly reviewing relevant documentation, including contracts, communication records, and payment terms, to identify any issues.

Outcome
Through our collaborative approach, our intervention led to a successful resolution of the dispute within eight weeks. The client agreed to settle the outstanding invoice in full, including interest which compensated for the delay. This outcome restored Keith Hunt Scaffolding’s cash flow and reinforced their reputation for professionalism and effective problem-solving.
