Gender pay gap

The gender pay gap is a measure of the difference between the average earnings of men and women across an organisation. This is a legal requirement in the UK for any private company with 250 or more employees and an important matter of principle that Onebright Limited is committed to and abides by.

As at the 5th April 2025, Onebright Limited had a total of 464 employees with the following gender split:

  • 464 employees in total
  • 369 Female employees (79% of workforce)
  • 95 Male employees (21% of workforce)

 

Our data demonstrates that Onebright has a mean (average) gender pay gap for hourly pay of 10%. This has increased since 2024 due to an increase in the number of men in the upper pay quartile.

Our gender pay gap is also influenced by the fact that we have a high proportion of female employees in our business, this is largely due to excellent flexible working practices which support all colleagues to reach their full career potential.  The median hourly pay for females remains higher than males at £20.48 v £18.10 although this gap reduced slightly in 2025.

In terms of bonus, the mean gender pay gap for bonus pay in 2025 was -99 and the median gender pay gap for bonus was -97. In 2024, 6 females and 1 male colleague received a bonus. In 2025 10 females and 11 men received a bonus.

Pay quartiles look at the proportion of men and women in four pay bands when we divide our workforce into four equal parts, and our workforce profile demonstrates a broadly even split between males and females in all pay quartiles.

         Female     Male
Lower hourly pay quarter 75.00 25.00
Lower middle hourly pay quarter 78.00 22.00
Upper hourly pay quarter 86.81 13.19
Upper middle hourly pay quarter 72.22 27.78
