The McCurrach Gender Pay Gap Report 2019
Message from Jill Ross, CEO McCurrach UK
Ensuring that McCurrach is diverse and inclusive is at the heart of what we do. We continue to progress on our actions from last year which included Unconscious Bias & Equality training for all Field Managers. We have also introduced a Smart Working programme to provide greater flexible working opportunities and improved work life balance.
We are encouraged to find that our results for this year continue to be consistently better than the averages across UK companies. Our results also show improvement in several areas, but we can’t be complacent, and we are committed to improving our measures further.
What is the Gender Pay Gap?
The Gender Pay Gap is not just one measure; there are in fact 6 measures that companies are required to publish annually:
- Mean Gender Pay Gap
- Median Gender Pay Gap
- Mean Gender Bonus Gap
- Median Gender Bonus Gap
- Proportion of male and female employees receiving a bonus
- The gender split of male and female employees in each pay quartile

Our Commitments
I’m delighted that we are launching a Diversity & Inclusion Framework in April 2019 which includes a Taskforce led by a member of our Executive Board with key representation across the business.
The 3 focus areas are
Diversity: We aim to reflect diversity in our communities in all divisions at all levels of the McCurrach Group
Inclusion: We aim to create and embed an inclusive environment that values differences and allows our people to be their whole self at work
Culture: We want to ensure that D&I is core to the McCurrach culture, and we hold ourselves accountable for delivering inclusion and diversity goals and objectives
We believe this level of focus and commitment will ensure a positive impact on our wider gender representation in the longer term.
