Living Wage 5

Every week in this column, we celebrate five companies willing to pay the real Living Wage. This is a voluntary rate set by the independent Living Wage Foundation, which people can actually live on – £9 an hour, or £10.55 in London. This week we particularly welcome Lews Castle College on Stornoway, Scotland, Essential 6 safety training in Torquay, Devon, Essex Court Chambers in London, Everflow Water in Tees Valley and the London Borough of Waltham Forest Council.
