The new real Living Wage rates are out!

The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate based on the cost of living. It is voluntarily paid by over 15,000 UK businesses like ours who believe their staff deserve a wage that meets everyday needs – like the weekly shop or a surprise trip to the dentist.

The rise of the London Living Wage will allow millions of hard workers an affordable standard of living. For our colleagues, we know this means a huge amount and makes an improvement in their quality of life and happiness.

A huge thank you to our amazing customers who have joined us in supporting this initiative! As a people-focused company with sustainability and well-being at our core, we will continue championing the Living Wage Foundation for years to come, working with our customers to ensure fair pay for all.
