The Lifestyle and Entertainment sector outperforms the UK average for payment practices, scoring a respectable 63.3 out of 100. However, a vast gulf separates the best and worst payers, indicating inconsistencies in financial discipline within the sector. The fact that the top payer scores 95.6 and the worst scores just 13 underscores a real problem for suppliers dependent on prompt payment.
Regional data presents a scattered picture. The single company in the "Unknown" region scores a high 82.0, while East of England also performs well with an average of 77.2 across five companies. London, with 13 companies, averages just 62.1, slightly below the sector average, suggesting greater payment challenges in the capital. The North East, while based on only two companies, closely mirrors the sector's average at 63.3.
