The Marketing & Sales sector significantly outperforms the national average for payment practices, sporting a PaymentCheck score almost 40% higher. However, the wide gap between the best and worst payers highlights a concerning inconsistency, indicating some businesses aren't paying suppliers fairly.
London dominates the analysis, with 68 companies contributing to an average PaymentCheck score of 71.6, suggesting better payment practices are clustered in the capital. Yorkshire and The Humber come in second, but with only two companies measured, it's hard to draw firm conclusions, and the South East lags behind London, with an average of just 57.2 across 5 companies.
While the Marketing & Sales sector is clearly a better payer than most, individual suppliers still need to do their due diligence and use this late payment calculator to protect their cashflow, because KINESSO LIMITED, at 18.6/100, is clearly pulling down the average.
