Gender pay gap
What this employer reported to the government. The figure is the difference in median hourly pay as a share of men's — so a positive number means men are paid more, and a negative one means women are.

Public contracts
Awards published on Contracts Finder where the notice named this company by its Companies House number. A notice is what a buyer said it awarded, not what was eventually spent.
1 of these were read before we began recording how many suppliers share each award, so they are listed here and counted in none of the totals above.
Only awards whose notice stated a company number are counted here, so this is a floor rather than a full account. Browse public contracts →
