MCM becomes Living Wage Employer

Crucial in our development and growth as both a successful business and valued local employer, MCM are currently advertising for three new sales roles and have also been accredited as a Living Wage Employer by the Living Wage Foundation.

The Living Wage commitment ensures that people working receive a higher minimum wage than the Government minimum for those over 23. This real living wage is calculated using the cost of living as a key factor – so much more reflective of real life and real people.

The Real Living Wage

According to the Living Wage Foundation, 1 in 8 employees are paid below the real Living Wage. Joining the 14,000 accredited Living Wage Employers and only 89 construction companies in London and the South East, MCM are making an important statement and ongoing commitment to each and every employee.

Softening the impact

Managing Director Shazna Ali said: 

“This is such an important accreditation for an employee, both to acknowledge and promote. Our workforce is growing, and we need to support current and new employees realistically, fairly and justly.  The cost of living crisis has had such a huge impact, so we are keen to offer support where it matters most.”

Creating real change

MCM joins a growing number of small to medium-sized businesses in the region and industry, as well as key construction players including Maylim, LendLease, Wates and Frosts Landscapes.
