Our Gender Pay Gap – April 2026
This report outlines our organisation’s gender pay gap results for the 12 months to 5 April 2025.
Our sector is historically and consistently male‑dominated, particularly in operational, technical, and frontline roles which form the backbone of our workforce. This industry context is important in understanding our gender distribution and the resulting pay gap outcomes.
The gender pay gap measures the difference in average pay between men and women across the organisation. It does not compare pay for equivalent roles but rather highlights representation patterns.
Despite operating in a sector where men make up the majority of the talent pipeline, our results show a very small median pay gap and a negative mean pay gap, meaning women earn more on average than men. This is a notable outcome within a male‑dominated industry and reflects the specific structure of our workforce.
