Generous Milton Keynes company gives its workers a cost of living bonus plus discounts on food bills

A Bletchley company has drawn up a financial support package to help all its staff through the cost of living crisis.

Workers at Grant & Stone plumbers’ merchants and bathroom showroom have each been given £500 extra cash this month to help pay the bills.

And the company, which is part of the Independent Builders Merchant Group (IBMG), has also launched a ‘perks package’ staff, with discounts on essentials such as groceries, clothing, mobile phones, household bills and insurance.

Finally they have started a employee purchase scheme, which provides discounts on a variety of energy saving products such as insulation and draught proofing to helping staff to manage rising energy costs in their homes.

Group Managing Director Peter Cudd said: "The initiatives are to assist our employees and their families during these extraordinary times and to help safeguard them against future increases in the cost of living.”
