Holland & Barrett announces pay increase
Holland & Barrett is to increase pay for store staff from £10.05 to £11 an hour.
It will also be offering distribution colleagues a 7% uplift from £10.71 to £11.46 an hour.
With the new rates coming into effect from 1 April, the move means the hourly rate for Holland & Barrett store colleagues has increased by 15% in the last year.
Anthony Houghton, chief operating officer UK & ROI at Holland & Barrett said: “We’ve been helping customers improve their health and wellness for over 150 years, and our colleagues are at the heart of how we do this – offering products, services information and advice to support the wellness of their customers in communities across the UK. We know our wellness starts with theirs, so we’re delighted to be able to increase pay again for our hourly paid colleagues.”
Founded in 1870, Holland & Barrett has over 700 stores and a rapidly expanding ecommerce offering.
