Brief update, while we digest the Autumn budget & how it affects the Company.
One thing we note and would like to comment on though.
Shadow of the Gardener believes the National Minimum Wage, and indeed; The living Wage.
Should be much more reflective, of the actual rising cost of living.
Especially during these times, due to the Pandemic.
This is why as a Company, SOTG Upscales the Pay of our Hard Working Staff;
To at least £10, per Hour; already.
We expect more from our staff, Good staff come at a premium.
So SOTG feel, it is fair to pay it.
So we do!
Rewarding Loyalty & Hard Workers.
Shadow of the Gardener.
