While the average PaymentCheck score for the transportation infrastructure sector is substantially higher than the UK average, the analysis is based on a minuscule sample size of only two companies, which limits the ability to draw broad conclusions. The data is so limited that the best and worst payer lists are identical.
Scotland, represented by Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited, shows a significantly higher average PaymentCheck score (92.1/100) compared to the East of England (71.2/100), but this observation is solely based on single data points for each region and should be interpreted cautiously. With such a limited data set, it's hard to determine if that’s truly representative of prompt payment in Scotland or if it's just a reflection of one well-managed company.
