Under legislation that came into force in April 2017, UK employers with more than 250 employees are required to publish annually their gender pay gap information.  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.

The data below shows our mean and median hourly gender pay gap and bonus gap as at the snapshot date (i.e. 5 April 2021 (pay) and in the 12-month reference period to 5 April 2021 (bonus).  At that time, we employed 310 women and 796 men.

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.
