A comprehensive list of gender pay gap data for UK firms in construction

All UK firms with more than 250 staff are now required by law to publish annual figures showing the pay gap between their male and female employees, with the results being published on the employer’s own website and a government site.

Below is a list of the largest construction businesses to have released their gender pay gap figures. Lendlease reported their figures six months prior to the deadline, admitting its total female staff earn 30% less than the total earnings of all male staff.

Building analysed this data as part of its Women in Construction special coverage - click here for more analysis.
