Amazon are the latest company to announce a base pay increase for thousands of workers across the country.
The positive change will come into force in April when minimum wage laws will change following the start of the new financial year. The move follows a range of companies who have confirmed a pay rise for workers.
Companies including Pret a Manger and Costa announced pay rises in recent weeks, avoiding the risk of conflicting with UK-wide minimum living wage rules, with the rate to be increased to £10.42 per hour for over 25s next month.
