Gender Pay Gap Report 2024

Yours Clothing was established in 1994 to provide women, often forgotten by UK retailers, with affordable, fashionable clothing regardless of size. We have dedicated our work on continuously improving our offering to women and are also able to extend our service to men through our “BadRhino” brand and to tall customers through the acquisition of the “Long Tall Sally” brand too. In 2022 we added a new brand to the group, PixieGirl, to provide fashion for petite customers. In 2023 we acquired the established brands of M&Co and Evans, both of which align well with our aims and values. In 2024 we added a start-up skincare brand, Whip & Woo to the family as well as taking on the Star by Julien Macdonald brand. Our growth in the UK has been down to our talented, hardworking employees whom we value greatly. We are proud of our continued growth as a business and the opportunities that it has given to our employees who have equal opportunities to shine, develop and earn.

Due to us being largely recognised as a women’s fashion retailer, we attract mainly female applicants to work in our stores and, with the majority of our employees based in our retail stores, the net result is that Yours Clothing employee population is currently 92% female. The male staff we do have in our stores are paid equally to our female staff, and we are confident that our gender pay gap is as a result of the variety of roles in which men and women work within the organisation and the salaries that these roles attract.

As part of the Government’s commitment to tackling gender inequality, UK companies with over 250 employees are required by law to publish calculations every year showing the pay gap between male and female employees. At Yours Clothing, we value inclusion and strive for equality and fairness for each and every team member. This year’s report shows some positive differences across the gender pay gap, with the median rates of both pay and bonus significantly improving and the Median Bonus gap now becoming weighted in favour of females. Any mean gap in the bonus data is due to the proportion of Males employed in the areas of the business where bonus payments form an integral part of the renumeration package.

The following information is accurate as of the snapshot date of 5 April 2024, and shows our overall mean and median gender pay gap and bonus pay gap based on hourly rates of pay.
