Triangle Fire are now accredited as a Living Wage Employer. The commitment will see everyone working at Triangle Fire to receive a minimum hourly wage of £10.90 in the UK or £11.95 in London. Both rates are significantly higher than the government minimum for over 23s, which currently stands at £9.50 per hour.
The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to nearly 400,000 people and put over £2 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.

Samantha Skinner-Davies, HR Manager, Triangle Fire said: “Introducing the Living Wage Is not only the right thing to do for our employees; It also makes good business sense. This is a long-term investment in our people based on our values and our belief that a team with good compensation and working conditions is in a position to provide a great experience to our customers.”
Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Triangle Fire has joined the movement of almost 11,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.
“They join thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as Burberry, Barclays, Everton Football Club and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like Triangle Fire, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
