While the travel and transportation sector demonstrably outperforms the UK average in payment practices, the wide disparity between the best and worst payers is alarming. The fact that some companies are achieving perfect scores while others are languishing with scores below 20 suggests significant operational differences, or potentially deliberate payment strategies.
The East Midlands, with an average score of 78.4 across six companies, leads the way in prompt payments within the sector, but the small sample size means the result has to be treated cautiously. Scotland comes in third with an average of 74 across 9 companies.
