Majestic Wine, TSB & Brecon Carreg agree to pay Living Wage

A further three companies have agreed to pay their employees the recommended Living Wage, at a rate well above the statutory figure announced earlier this year.

Majestic Wine, TSB and Brecon Carreg have chosen to voluntarily pay the £9.40 an hour in London and £8.25 outside of the capital. The standard rate is just £7.20 for workers aged 25 and over.

Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, explained his own jubilation at these businesses agreeing to implement the wage. BT reports him saying: “I am determined to tackle low pay across the capital, working with employers to make London a Living Wage city.

“The Living Wage should be seen as a badge of honour for businesses and I hope many more will follow the fine example of Majestic Wine, TSB and Brecon Carreg and sign up to this scheme.”
