Three more join Living Wage family


A trio of companies have committed to paying the voluntary Living Wage.


Majestic Wine, TSB and Brecon Carreg have joined the 2,600 other employers who voluntarily choose to pay the higher Living Wage rates in London (£9.40 an hour) and the rest of the UK (£8.25 an hour) because this ensures that all their staff earn enough to live on. 


Majestic Wine, the UK’s largest wine specialist, is the first national wine and alcohol retailer to become an accredited employer of the Living Wage Foundation.


TSB committed to pay its staff above the Living Wage when the bank launched in September 2013 and has been working with its suppliers and contractors to ensure that everyone employed on their behalf is also paid the Living Wage or above. TSB is set to become an accredited Living Wage employer by the Living Wage Foundation on 1 August 2016. 


Brecon Carreg, which supplies bottled water, is based in Wales and has committed to pay all employees a wage of at least £8.25 an hour, which has helped place them among the 2,000 most favourable and ethical British employers to work for.
