Paying people a good wage (as opposed to the minimum you can legally get away with) makes sense because put simply it's morally the right thing to do, but importantly it also makes sense from a business  point of view too.  When a company displays the Living Wage logo, it's a sign of a business that cares about the people that work there, and is prepared to put it's money where it's mouth is.  At Beer Hawk, when we're making choices about other businesses we want to work with, we prefer to choose Living Wage businesses because we like working with like minded people and also know they pay their people properly too.  Also, customers are more likely to choose Living Wage businesses because there's a certain sense of confidence that we'll receive a better experience interacting with that business and engaging with happy and motivated employees than we might elsewhere.

Our industry is about 2 things; great beer and the great people that work so hard to create it.  Retaining, motivating and rewarding those people is just the right thing to do so, and we are proud to be one of the small but growing band of Living Wage employers across Britain.

Cheers!
