Gender pay gap report
William Davis Limited
Gender Pay Report 2024
William Davis Ltd belongs to the Broadthorpe Ltd group of companies and is the only company in the group required to report on Gender Pay as it employees over 250. The prime activity of William Davis Ltd is house-building and the majority of employees included in this report are construction operatives directly engaged in that activity on construction sites. All Managerial and Administrative staff are employed in a sister company within the group and are not included in the Gender Pay data reported below.
The construction industry has traditionally been made up of a majority male workforce, and our business is no different. We recognise that we will not be able to change the under representation of women in our business overnight, however there are increasing UK wide external initiatives that are promoting females in construction, and businesses are seeing more females entering the industry.
Most construction operatives are not paid by the hour but receive a piecework payment for the value of the work they do, and this affects the calculation of the average hourly rate for Males. Construction operatives paid piecework at the snapshot date 5 April 2024 represented 66% of the total number of employees and there were no females paid piecework.
Pay trends are similar to the previous year as the nature of employees remains consistent.
Whilst as a business we currently employ less women than men we are confident that both men and women are paid equally for performing equivalent roles across our business.
The hourly pay gap reported below is as expected due to piecework rates.
