The real Living Wage is an independently calculated hourly rate based on the cost of living and is designed to reflect everyday expenses such as housing, food and utilities.

The real Living Wage is calculated according to the cost of living, whereas the National Living Wage is a statutory minimum rate set by the government.

The real Living Wage is reviewed regularly to reflect changes in the cost of living and ensure it remains relevant to current economic conditions.

It means that all employees at Procter & Chester are paid at least the real Living Wage. We believe that fair pay helps provide greater financial security and peace of mind for our employees, supporting a positive and productive working environment.
