The UK Waterways Travel sector exhibits a significantly better payment performance than the UK average, according to this data. However, the range of scores – a chasm of nearly 73 points between the best and worst payers – highlights a stark contrast in payment practices across the industry.
The South East, represented by BAE SYSTEMS MARINE LIMITED, shows the highest regional average with a score of 97.5, skewing the averages due to being a single company. Scotland, with three companies and an average of 74.2, indicates a generally positive, though less stellar, payment performance in that region.
