Debt Recovery Services

Expert Debt Recovery for Food and Beverage Producers

Food and beverage production companies operate in a fast-moving, highly regulated sector with significant ingredient costs, short shelf lives and demanding retail and hospitality clients. Late payment from supermarkets, restaurants, distributors and food service operators puts immediate pressure on producer cash flow.

Hay's Collections recovers debts for food and beverage producers across the UK — from artisan food makers to large-scale beverage manufacturers. We pursue unpaid production invoices, ingredient supply debts, co-packing fees and food service account arrears.

Our No Collection, No Commission model means zero financial risk. 15% commission on money successfully recovered only.

In addition to our core No Collection, No Commission debt recovery service, we provide a comprehensive range of ancillary services — including debtor tracing, credit checks, legal escalation, statutory demands and enforcement support — ensuring your case receives the full specialist attention it deserves.
