Were we the 10,000th? Tate & Clayburn is proud to announce that we are now officially a Living Wage Employer! 🎉 😁 👍

We’re celebrating being a part of the movement, which has reached a huge milestone of 10,000 UK accredited employers, who all believe workers should be able to meet their everyday needs. A commitment that is all the more important as costs continue to rise.

Together our movement has put over £.1.8m back into the pockets of low paid workers, and 1 in 13 UK workers now work for an accredited Living Wage Employer.
