UK Travel & Transportation Firms Ace Payment Punctuality, Except for a Few Laggards

The Numbers

• Companies analysed: 67
• Average PaymentCheck Score: 73.4/100
• UK average: 50.0/100 (Travel And Transportation is 23.4 points above)

What Stands Out

The Travel and Transportation sector is showing impressive payment discipline, massively exceeding the UK average. However, the wide gap between the best and worst performers suggests significant internal disparity.

Regional Patterns

The East of England tops the regional table with a 91.2 average, based on a sample of eight companies; the "Unknown" region, with just one company, is a close second at 91.1, so it is difficult to derive meaning from this region. Wales, with one company also shows a strong score of 86.7, so suppliers may wish to target these areas.

While the sector punches above its weight with a 73.4 average, suppliers should still be aware of the laggards dragging down the overall score.
