New Real Living Wages Announced

At Hive Cleaning, we’re all about delivering top-notch, eco-friendly cleaning services in London and Manchester. But for us, sustainability goes beyond using green products – it’s about looking after our people, too. We’re proud of our strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values, which guide everything we do, from using biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning solutions to minimising our environmental impact with energy-efficient practices.


But just as importantly, we’re committed to ensuring our team is treated fairly. That’s why we have been a certified Living Wage Employer from day one and fully support the newly announced Real Living Wage and London Living Wage rates. These are set by the Living Wage Foundation and are higher than the government’s National Minimum Wage, designed to reflect the true cost of living.



The new Real Living Wage across the UK is £12.60 per hour, while the London Living Wage, reflecting the higher costs of living in the capital, has been increased to £13.85 per hour. For our team members, this means more security and a wage that allows them to cover essential costs, from rent to food and bills. In a time when prices are rising for everyone, this makes a huge difference.




For us at Hive Cleaning, paying the Living Wage isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s smart for our business. Fair pay helps us attract and keep talented, motivated staff, and ensures our team feels valued and supported. When our team is happy, our clients get the best service.





We believe that sustainability and social responsibility go hand-in-hand, and by paying a fair wage, we’re helping build a stronger, more caring business for the future.
