Apollo Roofing Joins in ‘Living Wage Week’ Celebrations

APOLLO ROOFING, part of Apollo, a UK liquid adhesive, sealant coating and primer manufacturer, recently joined in with the Living Wage Week celebrations (15-21 November) by reinforcing its appreciation for its workforce.

The Tamworth-based business was awarded its accreditation by the Living Wage Foundation in June and joins an 8000-strong business community which firmly believes that employees deserve a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work and have enough to live on to meet their everyday needs.

Living Wage

At Apollo’s half-year business briefing event on 16 November, all employees enjoyed Living Wage themed cakes and refreshments and eight colleagues were presented with attendance bonus awards to the value of £2500 for 100% attendance for a full year and £1000 for 100% attendance for the previous quarter.

Apollo Managing Director, Ian Cornelius, said: “Apollo has always maintained that it’s employees are its biggest asset. We are proud to be a Living Wage accredited business and genuinely appreciate all our colleagues and the difference they make to our business on a daily basis. It was encouraging to see that 49% of our workforce qualified to be in the annual attendance bonus draw and 75% in the quarterly which I hope confirms that they are happy in their roles and enjoy being part of the Apollo family.”

Attendance bonus recipients (L-R): Tony Bevan, Neil Allingham, Anthony Guy, Ben Whitehouse, Karen Russell, Jade Warrington, Francis Radcliffe, Andreas Pappas.

Apollo Employee Benefits

The attendance bonus is just one of a number of benefits Apollo employees enjoy. On top of that, additional business performance related bonuses are paid to all staff, access is provided to Health Shield medical cover which reimburses various medical and wellbeing costs and the Employee Assistance programme offers home life support, mini health checks and legal advice.

Anyone interested in joining the Apollo family and benefit from working for a Living Wage Accredited employer should visit the Apollo website to view the latest vacancies.
