Distinct's Commitment to Fair Pay: A Living Wage Recognised Provider Since 2021.

Distinct Group: Proud to Be a Living Wage Recognised Provider

At Distinct Group, we are a collective of dedicated professionals committed to excellence, not just in our services but in the way we treat and compensate our employees. Our recognition as a Living Wage Recognised Provider is more than just an accolade—it’s a reflection of our core values and our unwavering commitment to fostering a workplace that respects, values, and fairly compensates every member of our team.

Understanding the Living Wage

The Living Wage is an independently set hourly rate, updated annually to reflect the true cost of living. It ensures that employees earn a fair wage that allows them to support themselves and their families. At Distinct Group, this commitment is about more than just pay—it’s about creating a workplace culture built on dignity, respect, and opportunity.

Fair pay is fundamental to employee well-being, helping to reduce financial stress and foster a motivated, healthy, and engaged workforce.

Setting Industry Standards
We believe in leading by example. By advocating for fairer pay, we hope to encourage higher standards across the facilities management sector, pushing the industry forward.

Building Client Trust
Our clients want to work with companies that align with their values. As a Living Wage Recognised Provider, we demonstrate our commitment to ethical business practices and social responsibility, reinforcing the trust our clients place in us.
