Real Living Wage Accredited

We are excited to announce that we have recently become accredited by the Real Living Wage Foundation, joining 12,500+ employers across the UK that are committed to paying their staff a wage they can live on!

The Real Living Wage Foundation is on a mission to create a society where in-work poverty is a thing of the past.  It is an independent movement of businesses, people and organisations who believe “their staff deserve a wage which meets every-day needs”. The real living wage is based on the cost of living in the UK, and it takes into account the cost of rent, food, energy bills, clothing – basically, what’s required to maintain a decent standard of living. The real living wage is different from the minimum wage, which is set by the government and is the legal minimum that employers can pay their employees.

Providing a real living wage isn’t just about being socially responsible; it’s also a sensible business choice that can positively impact the overall health and productivity of a team. The wellbeing of our people is really important to us, and poor economic health can have a negative impact on mental and emotional health. We’ve always paid our people well and we’re thrilled that we are now officially part of this movement and showing our commitment to creating fairer workplaces.
