The gender pay gap shows the difference in average hourly pay between women and men. It is different to equal pay, which relates to what women and men are paid for the same or similar jobs or work of equal value.

We are confident that men and women are paid equally for doing equivalent jobs across our business. Our gender pay gap is a result of the demographic in the construction industry, with 72% of our workforce being men. There are fewer women across the whole business and there are also fewer women in senior management positions, which is the major factor in our gender pay gap. Due to COVID-19 we are unable to accurately compare the data from 2020 as the majority of the workforce were furloughed at the time of the snapshot.
In calculating the bonus gap, we are required to include commission payments as well as one off or regular bonuses. Our bonus gap is reflective of there being more women than men in sales roles where commission payments make up a larger part of remuneration.
Declaration: I confirm that the information and data provided in this report is accurate and in line with the UK Government’s Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.
