B&Q has raised its hourly rate of pay and now claims to be the highest-paying major retailer in the UK. 

The home improvement retailer has increased the hourly rate for its UK employees to £12.21 and up to £13.55 in London. 

Starting from April 2024, the rise represents an increase of 7%, ahead of the current rate of inflation, 77p higher than the government’s 2024 National Living Wage and 21p higher than the Real Living Wage.
