Effective 1 April 2024, the minimum wage will increase by 9.8 per cent, from £10.42 to £11.44 per hour for workers over 21.
Increased employment costs, combined with the persistent cost of living crisis and inflationary pressures, pose a financial challenge for operators across various sectors.
As your trusted procurement partner, the Pelican team is here to help you mitigate the impact of these challenges with cost reduction and efficiency tools.
Strategic cost reduction across categories
In the face of the current cost of living crisis, there’s a constraint on how much consumers are willing to pay, limiting the amount operators can increase prices.
Pelican’s dedicated team specialise in reducing costs across all categories, from food and beverage to non-food items. We can review your purchasing and explore additional categories to find savings or look at your top-purchased products and suggest ‘switch and save’ options.
