Gender Pay Report 2024
The UK Government legislates that all businesses in England, Scotland and Wales with 250 or more employees must report the following calculations:
- Hourly pay gap – mean and median
- Bonus pay gap – mean and median
- Proportion of men and women receiving a bonus
- Proportion of men and women in different salary quarters, ranked from highest to lowest
The gender pay gap highlights the difference in average hourly earnings between men and women.
Data has to be gathered on a snapshot date (5 April 2024) and our data statistics are as follows:
Gender pay gap for employees
We are required to publish overall gender pay gap figures calculated using both the mean and the median average hourly pay which has been calculated in accordance with guidance contained within the regulations.
- The 'mean' is the sum of all of the hourly pay rates divided by the number of males/females, as appropriate.
- The 'median' is the mid-point when all of the hourly rates are sorted in ascending order.
| Mean | Median |
| 17.4% | 20.0% |
Pay quartiles
Set out below is the proportion of male and female employees in each of four pay quartiles, based on our overall pay range (not making any distinctions in relation to roles or whether a fee earner or not).
| Gender | Upper Quartile | Upper Middle Quartile | Lower Middle Quartile | Lower Quartile |
| Women | 64.2% | 70.6% | 80.0% | 77.1% |
| Men | 35.8% | 29.4% | 20.0% | 22.9% |
Bonus pay gap for employees
Information of our gender bonus gap (i.e. the difference between men and women's mean and median bonus pay over a 12 month period) is set out below, together with details of the proportion of male and female employees who received a bonus in the same 12 month period.
| Bonus received by women | Bonus received by men |
| 7.6% | 10.0% |
