What Stands Out

The physical health sector, based on this limited sample, shows a considerably better payment performance than the UK average, nearly 20 points better. However, there's vast disparity within the sector itself, with some companies drastically underperforming compared to others, and with the North East lagging behind.

Regional Patterns

London leads the pack in terms of the average payment score by region, with a score of 75.4/100. However, the North East seriously struggles to keep up, reporting 40.6/100, a massive underperformance possibly skewed by the very low sample size of one company. The North West also has a high score of 79/100, however, this is also based on a sample size of one.

The fact that Bannatyne Fitness, at 40.65/100, is more than 50 points behind The Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross of Liege (96.6/100) underscores a significant internal inconsistency within the UK's physical health sector's payment practices.
