What is Gender Pay Gap?
The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021, effective July 2021, requires employers with 150+ employees to annually publish calculations showing the average hourly pay difference between male and female employees across the organisation.
Understanding the gender pay gap is crucial, as it differs from equal pay. Equal pay ensures men and women receive the same pay for equal work, a legal obligation Blenders upholds by applying pay and rewards fairly to all, regardless of gender.

Our Conclusions
While adhering to standard pay rates, particularly at entry level and across our staff, Blenders values employees as individuals with diverse experience and potential. Remuneration is often based on these factors, along with individual performance, and is not influenced by gender.
Blenders’ success relies on the talent and dedication of its workforce. Across all areas of our business, we aim to recruit individuals who are passionate about their expertise and committed to delivering exceptional standards.
Blenders is committed to promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion. We will continue to review our recruitment and promotion policies to ensure they remain free from gender bias. Our goal is to offer long-term, fulfilling careers where individuals at all levels have the opportunity to develop their skills and grow alongside the company.
