STAFF at Selco’s Coventry branch will be benefitting from a £2.5million boost to help 96 per cent of the firms 3,000 UK workers deal with the cost-of-living crisis.
The builders’ warehouse will give the eligible staff from its 73 branches a £150 payment each month between November and March.
This £750 cash boost is a direct response to rising energy bills and inflation.
Everyone in the business will benefit from the payments except the most senior management figures.
Free breakfasts will also be available for staff every day using locally sourced products following successful trials.
Howard Luft, chief executive of Selco Builders Warehouse, said: “We are living through an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis and it’s placing pressure on household budgets, from energy to food and fuel to mortgages, up and down the country.
“We wanted to do what we could to provide additional support to colleagues who, day-in and day-out, give an outstanding commitment, dedication and service to the ongoing growth and success of Selco.
“We are hoping this will help our colleagues through the challenging economic times the country is facing and we will continue to investigate further opportunities to support our people through this period.”
