What Stands Out

The Road Travel sector's average PaymentCheck score of 66.5 is significantly above the UK average, suggesting a generally healthy payment culture. However, the vast disparity between the top and bottom payers highlights a problem with consistently poor payment practices in certain corners of the industry.

Regional Patterns

While all regions outperform the UK average, the "Unknown" category boasts the highest average, but the small sample size of 9 companies makes it less reliable than other regions. London and Scotland are nearly neck-and-neck, while the South West and Wales come in slightly lower. There are no huge regional variations.

While most of the Road Travel Sector is performing respectably well, the 0/100 score of ENGELS (NO.1) LIMITED is difficult to ignore, clearly demonstrating late payments are still a massive problem for some.
