Our People, Our Strength

Living Wage Foundation

At McLay’s Foods, our people are at the heart of everything we do – which is why we’re proud to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation.

Since 2021, we’ve committed to paying all employees the Real Living Wage – a rate calculated to meet the cost of living, not just the government minimum. This decision has helped us reward our loyal workforce, and show our dedication to treating people fairly.

We’ve also gone a step further, achieving Living Hours accreditation. This means our staff have guaranteed, secure working hours they can rely on – giving them stability, peace of mind, and a fair wage they can depend on.

For us, it’s simple: when our team thrives, so does our business.
