Enhance Office Cleaning Ltd has been announced as a winner of the Living Wage Champion Awards 2018 for Recognised Service Providers.
The 2018 Living Wage Champion Awards celebrate individuals and organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to the Living Wage movement, and are proudly sponsored by Aviva, KPMG and the City of London Corporation.
The service provider sector is a traditionally low pay industry. However, Living Wage Recognised Service Providers aim to buck this trend by spreading the benefits of the real Living Wage throughout their contracts. They commit to always supply a Living Wage bid alongside every market rate submittal to clients to champion fair pay within the sector.
Enhance was one of the first cleaning companies to embrace the idea of a fair wage for low-paid workers in London. Over the past eight years the company has consistently promoted the benefits of paying the real Living Wage to their clients. The majority of Enhance’s business is within London and 96% of Enhance’s staff, working on client contracts, are paid the London Living Wage or higher.
Sandy Aird, MD of Enhance, said: “Paying a real Living Wage to our staff is a fundamental principle within our business and we owe a huge ‘thank you’ to our clients for their ongoing support with this policy. We’re delighted to be recognised by winning the service providers Living Wage Champion Award 2018.”
