The Living Wage foundation is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by nearly 6,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a fair day's pay for a hard day's work.

At Jaguar, we pay the real Living Wage which is higher than the government minimum - we also make sure all employees in London receive the London Living Wage.

Paul Roberts, Managing Director said:

“As a service provider we rely on our staff to deliver every day. Our business is about committed people without whom we would not exist. Recognising the London Living wage allows us to demonstrate our commitment to them.”
