WCEC becomes first livery company to be accredited as a Living Wage employer

The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners (WCEC) has been named as the first City Livery Company to become an accredited Living Wage employer.

Gary Fage, Master of the WCEC, said: “The Living Wage demonstrates an understanding that without fair pay, we cannot adequately resource our industry. Fair is fair when it comes to remuneration. I’d like to recognise the foresight and efforts of the WCEC Court Assistant, Phil Smith, whose experience with the Living Wage Foundation and as a founding member of the Recognised Service Provider Scheme have helped to smooth our livery’s way to becoming a Living Wage employer.”

The WCEC will report annually to reconfirm its status. Furthermore, there will be a dedicated area on the WCEC website specific to its Living Wage employer status and any related initiatives.
