B Corp environmental consultancy Tyler Grange receives Living Wage Employer accreditation from the Living Wage Foundation.

Officially recognising that all 80+ members of staff at the consultancy are paid a fair and real living wage, making Tyler Grange one of 14,000 UK businesses – from a total of 5.6 million – to be accredited.

The real living wage is the UK wage rate based on the cost-of-living and is introduced voluntarily by employers.

The Foundation independently calculates a minimum rate of pay in line with the cost-of-living annually and is based on the best available living standards in the UK.

Under the real Living Wage rate, a full-time worker earns over £3,000 more, each year, than someone earning the National Living Wage of £11.44. In London, this increases to more than £5,000.

Tyler Grange’s managing director, Jon Berry, reflects on the accreditation, saying: “It’s our responsibility to support all aspects of our employees’ wellbeing – financial is one of them, so that they feel confident talking about money and asking for help when it’s needed.

“It’s especially important as cost-of-living pressures continue to be felt and with the accumulated debts that many people bring to their first jobs. We’re tackling the issue head-on.”

Berry goes on to say paying a real living wage is “absolutely the right thing to do” for Tyler Grange’s employees, who he goes on to say are the businesses “greatest asset.”

Tyler Grange joins other Living Wage accredited employers including Oxfam; Vodafone; Ikea; Lush; Aviva; KPMG; The Open University and Richer Sounds.

The consultancy was also recently recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024.

It is also a member of the Better Business Network and supports the Better Business Act.
