# UK Safety & Security Sector Pays Suppliers Significantly Faster Than Average in 2024

## The Numbers

## What Stands Out

The Safety & Security sector's average PaymentCheck Score of 71.3 is substantially higher than the UK average of 50, suggesting a stronger commitment to prompt supplier payments. However, the wide disparity between the best and worst payers indicates that payment practices are far from uniform across the sector. It’s worth noting the best payers in the sector tend to be large, well-established entities.

## Regional Patterns

The "Unknown" region has an average PaymentCheck score of 85.8, but with only 2 companies represented, this number isn't reliable. The other regions are all close together: East of England scores 73.5, London scores 73.2, South East scores 71.8 and South West also scores 71.8. The similar average scores across these regions suggest location isn't a strong indicator of payment practices within this sector.
