Energy Park Achieves Living Wage Foundation Accreditation

Energy Park is delighted to have secured accreditation from the Living Wage Foundation in recognition of our commitment to paying a fair Living Wage.

The Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the cost of living, and our Living Wage commitment will ensure that all Energy Park employees and third party contracted staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum.

The Living Wage is calculated each year and announced by the Living Wage Foundation as part of Living Wage Week. It is currently £12.60 in the UK, with a higher rate of £13.85 for London, reflecting the higher costs of living in the capital.

Gavin Malone, Energy Park Founder and COO, said: “We’re thrilled to receive the Living Wage Foundation accreditation. We’re committed to building a business where everyone feels valued and respected, so being recognised as a Living Wage Employer is an exciting milestone for Energy Park. Everyone should be rewarded for the great work they do, and that begins with being paid fairly.”

Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation commented: “We’re delighted that Energy Park has joined the movement of over 15,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.

 "They join thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as Burberry, Barclays, Everton Football Club and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like Energy Park, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay."

The Living Wage Foundation is the organisation at the heart of the movement of businesses, organisations and individuals who campaign for the simple idea that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The Living Wage Foundation receives guidance and advice from the Living Wage Advisory Council.
