The UK's environment sector isn't just talking the talk; it's generally paying its suppliers markedly faster than the national average. While the data suggests a generally healthy sector, the disparity between the best and worst payers is substantial, indicating internal challenges for some firms.
Northern Ireland significantly outperforms other regions, with an average score of 86.1, although this is based on just three companies. Wales follows with an average of 75.4 across four businesses. The North West lags behind, with an average score of 69.6 from eight firms, suggesting payment performance there may warrant closer attention from suppliers.
