Northside Truck and Van Ltd

As a business, we welcome the spotlight now focussed on the gender pay gap issue. We see this as a positive step towards removing all pay inequality in the workplace.

Our core values incorporate respect for all, regardless of gender, religion or ethnicity.

We have 468 Male and 88 Female employees. Our workforces are predominately made up of service technicians and HGV drivers. It is a continual challenge to recruit female service technicians, and we are constantly working with new ideas to encourage females to apply for all our apprenticeship schemes. Within the haulage industry, it is our experience that in the geographical areas in which we operate there are very few females who find a career as an HGV driver an attractive prospect.

Gender Pay Gap

It is important to understand that the gender pay report measures the difference between the average and median male and female pay. It therefore reflects the distribution and relative proportions of men and women across the business. It does not reflect the role that an employee performs. Therefore, it should be noted that when it comes to the same role Northside believes they pay the same pay regardless of gender.

I confirm the gender pay gap data in this report is accurate.
