Money

We provide much more than a wage to our colleagues
…such as the range of additional benefits and practical financial support you’ll find here.

From cashback and discounts in shops and online, to free confidential services to help you manage your money, our pension plan or electric car scheme, there’s lots to help you make your money go further now and in the future.

Everyone’s different when it comes to holidays – some like  more time-off while others prefer less.

That’s why we we open a window each spring for colleagues on the Anchor payroll system to buy or sell up to five days of their annual leave (pro rata if part time).
