Important upcoming changes for purchasing and accounting teams regarding orders of products and services of Horizon Discovery Limited and Dharmacon Inc.
From March 1st 2021, please address all Purchase Orders for products and services of Horizon Discovery Limited and Dharmacon Inc. to Horizon Discovery Biosciences Limited. Horizon Discovery Group Plc and its affiliated companies (the “Horizon Discovery Group”) are streamlining their ordering process to allow customers to order all products and services through just one company of the Horizon Discovery Group: Horizon Discovery Biosciences Limited. From March 1st, 2021, all customers who purchase Horizon Discovery Limited and Dharmacon Inc. products will have to do so through Horizon Discovery Biosciences Limited and from that date all Purchase Orders should be addressed to Horizon Discovery Biosciences Limited. Horizon Discovery Biosciences Limited will issue the invoices and will receive the payments for such Purchase Orders.
This is strictly a change in ordering processes, and does not affect our products and services offerings, their quality, or make any change to the people who support you. Please create a new account for Horizon Discovery Biosciences Limited in your purchasing and accounts payable systems to reflect the new legal entity and its trading address (8100 Cambridge Research Park, Waterbeach, Cambridge, CB25 9TL, United Kingdom). You can find the W-8BEN-E form and banking information here. This change will not affect any orders that you place before March 1st, 2021, therefore we advise you to keep open in your purchasing and accounts payable systems the accounts of Horizon Discovery Limited or Dharmacon Inc. until the invoices for such Purchase Orders have been paid.
