An employee-owned cash and carry and convenience store giant has handed its staff an "extraordinary pay rise" to help with the cost-of-living crisis.
A G Parfett & Sons, which is behind the Parfetts Cash & Carry, GoLocal and Gold brands, has awarded a 7.5% rise for salaried staff while weekly paid employees have seen an increase of 9.6% to hourly rates.
Staff are also to receive an extra day of paid holiday and can take additional unpaid holidays to a maximum allowance of 38 days for full-time staff.
