Reporting on our Gender Pay Gap

At Bidvest Noonan, we are deeply committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I) in the workplace. We strive to create an environment where every individual feels valued, included, and heard.

We acknowledge that the sectors in which we operate— particularly security are traditionally male dominated, with a higher proportion of women working in cleaning roles. However, we are actively working to build a more diverse workforce and a more inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, we are championing initiatives that encourage more women to enter the security industry.

In the past year, we also launched the Menopause Workplace Pledge, demonstrating our commitment to supporting our female colleagues through this important life stage and its impact on employment.

We have robust policies in place to ensure equal opportunities for all.

Hourly Pay Gap

At the time of reporting, our UK workforce was 67% male and 33% female. Most male employees worked in security roles, which are typically full-time and predominantly based in London positions that generally attract higher rates of pay. In contrast, most female employees held cleaning roles, which are often part-time and spread nationwide, typically attracting pay aligned with national living wage levels. The increase in our gender pay gap reflects the growing proportion of security contracts in our business portfolio.

The % of Women in each Pay Quarter

Women make up 30% of those in the highest pay category. We remain committed to improving gender representation in senior roles and continue to implement ED&I strategies focused on achieving greater gender balance in leadership across the organisation.
