Sugarhill Brighton is very happy to support the Living wage campaign as we value our employees highly, and the living wage set by the foundation is a more realistic living wage rate than the one set by the Government.
Staff are our greatest asset. We value our workforce and in addition to paying in excess of the living wage we reward staff with an annual share of profits (subject to performance review). We believe that we get the best out of our workforce by offering incentives to share in our success.
"We feel that it’s essential that staff feel valued and supported and the Living Wage Campaign does so much to help ensure that hard-working people get a fair and reasonable income. This is why the College is proud to give this campaign our wholehearted backing."
"Our charity is reliant on the hard work, dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment of our staff team. We want to ensure that they feel valued, appreciated and are rewarded for all that they put into our organisation. Without them we would not be able to deliver the much needed services to our client group."
