A long-standing East Yorkshire business has announced a new, monthly additional cost of living increase for each of its 50 employees - equating to £1,800 a year.
Luxury hamper and fine food specialist Cartwright & Butler , a fifth generation firm that started life as a Hull bakery, is giving staff a permanent boost “over and above the annual pay increase”.
The ‘cost of living’ pay rise is in response to the well-publicised pressures on home finances due to rising inflation and soaring energy bills. It comes in the week when regional law firm Wilkin Chapman announced a £1,000 payment for more than 350 staff.
