Van Man Removals and Storage is proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer and this month we are celebrating our 8th year since joining the scheme, back in March 2016!
There are only four removal companies in the country which are members of the Living Wage Foundation – and we are the only one in Devon or the south west!
This means that we commit to paying at least the real living wage to all our staff – which is £1 an hour more than the national minimum wage.
In actual fact very few of our team are earning this – most are earning more – but it means for new starters there is a good benchmark to come in on and start their removals career with us.
The real living wage is independently calculated based on rising living costs including fuel, energy, rent and food.
Almost 9000 employers throughout the country, including Van Man Removals and Storage based in Tiverton, have signed up to the policy.
Other Living Wage accredited companies include housebuilders Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon Homes, and big names such as Everton Football Club, insurer Aviva, luxury goods brand Burberry and the Nationwide building society.
So if you want to entrust your house move, removals or storage to a trusted mover who rewards their staff fairly, then please contact Van Man Removals and Storage for a quote.
