Transportation Infrastructure Payment Practices Report 2020

12 October 2021•By Alastair Campbell, Founder•Reports

UK Transportation Infrastructure Payment Performance Beats National Average, But Sample Size is Tiny

The Numbers

  • Companies Analysed: 2
  • Average PaymentCheck Score: 81.7/100
  • UK Average PaymentCheck Score: 50.0/100
  • Transportation Infrastructure Sector Average PaymentCheck Score Above UK Average: 31.7 points
  • Scotland Average PaymentCheck Score: 92.1/100 (based on 1 company)
  • East of England Average PaymentCheck Score: 71.2/100 (based on 1 company)

What Stands Out

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.

Best Payers

  1. CALEDONIAN MARITIME ASSETS LIMITED - 92.1/100
  2. VOLKERSERVICES LIMITED - 71.2/100

Worst Payers

  1. VOLKERSERVICES LIMITED - 71.2/100
  2. CALEDONIAN MARITIME ASSETS LIMITED - 92.1/100

Regional Patterns

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.

While the average PaymentCheck score for the two companies analyzed is 81.7/100, substantially higher than the UK's 50.0/100, the sample size is too small to declare this a sector-wide trend.

Still waiting to be paid?

A reminder from you is easy to ignore. PaymentCheck sends a formal late payment notice on your behalf — from a third party that publicly tracks the payment behaviour of 9,600+ UK companies. Free, and it takes 60 seconds.
