Living Wage accreditat­ion for Hamilton IT business

-

Hamilton-based IT services company Provista has been awarded the Scottish Living Wage accreditat­ion, ensuring its entire workforce earns fair pay.

The firm has grown yearon-year since it was founded in 2006, with all staff in the team guaranteed to earn at least £8.45 an hour – above the government’s national living wage of £7.50.

Provista said it was also committing to ensuring suppliers, from cleaning agencies to contractor­s, are paying the living wage to their staff. Headquarte­red in Hamilton with office locations in Aberdeen and Birmingham, the firm provides cloud computing and support services to a range of organisati­ons, including Balfour Beatty, Digby Brown and the Glasgow Science Centre.

Co-founder Stuart Little said: “We believe in investing in our workforce and the need to be an ethical, responsibl­e employer.

“We recognise the benefits it will bring in terms of ensuring our employees feel valued.”
