Project Recovered

£21,300

The Challenge

A Glasgow-based engineering company supplied custom-fabricated components to a construction contractor for a major infrastructure project. The order was delivered on schedule and signed off as meeting all specifications. However, the contractor failed to pay the remaining £21,300 balance, citing “delays in client payments.” The engineering firm, already managing tight project timelines, needed a fast resolution without jeopardising its reputation within the construction industry.

Our Approach

We began by reviewing the signed delivery notes, purchase orders, and payment terms to confirm the debt’s validity.
We:

  • Sent a formal demand letter outlining the outstanding balance and payment deadline
  • Made direct contact with the contractor’s accounts team to bypass project management delays
  • Offered a short, non-negotiable timeframe for settlement before escalation
  • Maintained consistent follow-up, keeping the client updated on all developments

The Result

The contractor paid the full £21,300 within three weeks, avoiding any need for legal escalation. The engineering firm was able to maintain its relationship with the contractor and continue working on other projects without further payment issues.

Client Review

“Regent acted quickly and professionally. They got us paid in full and helped us protect a valuable business relationship.”
