A wedding venue group in South Wales has given an immediate inflation busting pay rise to staff.
The Oldwalls Collection, which operates two popular wedding venues in the Gower, Swansea, has launched a Pay Awards scheme to support employees during the cost-of-living crisis after UK inflation hit 7% in March, the highest in three decades.
Existing salaried staff, with salaries ranging from £24,000 to £50,000, will receive an immediate pay rise averaging 12%, while hourly staff will receive an increase on their wages as the company scraps National Minimum and Living Wage rates, allowing under 20s working in the firm to earn up to 56% over the minimum wage.
