At Shire Windows Solutions, we believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay — and that’s why we’re proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer.
The Real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate based on the actual cost of living. It’s calculated independently by the Living Wage Foundation, ensuring that employees across the country can earn enough to cover everyday essentials — from rent and bills to food and family life.

Standing with the UK’s Leading Employers
By joining the Living Wage movement, we’re in good company. Over 14,000 UK employers have made the same commitment to fair pay — including household names like IKEA, Oxfam, Aviva, Nationwide, and KPMG.
These businesses, like us, recognise that paying the Real Living Wage isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s good for business too. It helps attract and retain great people, boosts morale, and builds a culture of respect and fairness that benefits everyone.
What It Means for Our Team
Being a Living Wage Employer means that everyone working at Shire Windows Solutions — whether directly employed or contracted — earns a wage that meets the cost of living, not just the government minimum.
It’s a commitment to valuing our people and ensuring that every member of our team feels supported, recognised, and rewarded for their contribution.
Why It Matters
The cost of living continues to rise, and for many households, the difference between the National Minimum Wage and the Real Living Wage can mean the difference between just getting by and living with dignity.
By choosing to go above and beyond, we’re helping to close that gap and making a positive difference not only within our own business but across our local community.
