Cirencester B-Corp Tyler Grange makes public its salary ranges

Cotswolds environmental planning firm Tyler Grange said it was once again innovating and disrupting by making public the salary ranges it pays its staff.

The Cirencester-based B-Corp, also well known for pioneering the four-day working week, is one of only 16% of UK companies to disclose individual pay ranges to employees. Its fixed term contract salaries range from £25,400 to £82,000.

The company, which has over 85 employees, has also voluntarily disclosed in its latest impact report its gender pay gap - which currently stands at 13.6%, down from 14.6% in 2023.

According to the most recent Gender Pay Gap report published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the gender pay gap has been declining slowly over time. During the last decade, it has fallen by around a quarter among full-time employees, and in April 2024, it stood at 7% - a fall from 7.5% in 2023.

Tyler Grange said it had addressed its gap, employing 19 females during 2024 and the promotion of a further seven - improving employee ratios within the quartiles.

Despite fewer men than women being employed at the company overall, they are weighted towards more senior roles, the firm said.

The company began a thorough salary assessment to align bands three years ago.

Jon Berry, Tyler Grange co-founder and managing director, said: "This whole process has been eye-opening and rewarding, and I’d certainly encourage everyone to check that they’re being paid fairly for their role and, at the very least, start a conversation about the importance of salary transparency."

He added: "We’re delighted to once again innovate and disrupt, by making our salaries transparent to everyone.

"We have a way to go, but we’re in a stronger than ever position for improvement. Yes, we now have complete pay transparency and equality within roles, but it has been hard work to address the influence of previous roles on starting salaries, recruitment consultant negotiations and the impact of supply and demand on remuneration. But this is an issue that we're determined to fix.

"A gender gap in average pay also remains in the business, which we’re honest about and are working very hard to close it," the company boss added.

"We’re confident that embracing a pay disclosure strategy will bring benefits in attracting and retaining the best people irrespective of gender and background. This makes us an even better workplace in which to thrive - personally and professionally."

Tyler Grange's move to make its salary information public comes 18-months ahead of the European Union Pay Transparency Directive, which comes into force within EU countries in June, 2026.

The new measures are intended to bolster existing laws on equal pay and help reduce the gender pay gap across Europe.

Many larger firms based in the UK, with over 100 employees, will be affected by the directive, despite the UK not being in the EU.
