Gender pay gap 2024
Gender pay gap reporting legislation requires employers with 250 or more employees to publish statutory calculations every year. These must show how large the pay gap is between men and women in the workforce. We have also published our gender pay gap data as at 31 March 2024 on the government website.
We had 5,465 employees in scope for the gender pay gap exercise.
At 31 March 2024, 69% of our workforce were women (3,756) and 31% men (1,709).
The mean gender pay gap is the difference between the mean hourly rate of pay for men (£19.34) and women (£18.63).
For 2024, this was 3.6%. This has increase by 0.1% from 2023 (3.5%).
The median gender pay gap is the difference between the median hourly rate of pay for men (£17.44) and women (£17.10).
For 2024, this was 1.9%. This has decreased by 0.8% from 2023 (2.7%).
We have no bonus payments for 2024 that fall in the gender pay gap category.
