Gender Pay Gap

GENDER PAY GAP REPORT 2023

 As a UK employer with over 250 employees, Verallia UK Limited is required by law to publish data about its gender pay gap, which as a fair and progressive employer we welcome.

We believe it is important for all companies to be transparent about pay, as by doing so progress will continue to be made in bridging the pay gap that continues to exist in the UK today.

At Verallia UK Limited we are aware that people are fundamental to our success and we are dedicated to promoting equality and diversity throughout our organisation.

As a whole the Verallia Group continues to become more diverse and inclusive and has changed it’s hiring practices to ensure a gender-diverse set of candidates and offers professional development in the form of mentorship aimed at women in the group, with the goal of ensuring that 35% of its Managers are women by 2025.  With this in mind, we will continue to strive locally to create a more evenly gender balanced workforce in what is traditionally a male dominated industry.

With the National average hourly earnings at 14.3%* lower for women than men, we are delighted that our gender pay gap is significantly less than this at 4.7%, as of the snapshot date of the 5th April 2023.  This is a substantial drop of 4.4% on the previous years reported figure, which shows a huge step forward at Verallia UK Limited in its endeavours to close the gender pay gap within its business.

I can confirm that the data contained in the gender pay gap report is accurate and has been reached using the mechanisms that are set out in the gender pay gap reporting legislation.Sara Tucker

18th of November marks International Poitin Day.

Poitin is a traditional Irish spirit, typically distilled between 40%-70% ABV that dates back to 1st Century AD. Historically the spirit was outlawed in Ireland as a result of taxation in 1661, but more recently has had a revival, being legalised in 1997.

Poitin carries an abundance of Irish heritage, being made with native ingredients such as barley, potatoes, and oats. Today Poitin is quickly gaining popularity, as it’s exported across countries, telling its story across borders.

Embodying Irish craftsmanship, @DrinkMadMarchHare_ celebrates heritage in every bottle. They expertly produce smooth, authentic poitin, encompassed in a decadent glass bottle created by Verallia.

Today marks an artistry that is often described as ‘fiercely Irish’.

Happy International Poitin Day, sláinte!

We are winners! 🥇

Three of our decadent glass bottles were shortlisted for Glass Pack of the Year at the UK Packaging Awards.

We are proud to announce, that after dominating the category with three bottles shortlisted, Verallia are the winners of Glass Pack of the Year, for @secretgardendistillery's botanical gin bottle! 👏

The judges were complimentary of the use of recycled glass in this premium bottle, a sustainable alternative to traditional white flint. We are dedicated to sustainability, and this award recognises that our expertise can create packaging that exudes opulence whilst being sustainable.

We also received commendation on our ‘Classic Laddie’ bottle, created for @bruichladdich. Another excellent example of sustainability hand-in-hand with sophistication, as they opted for a 34.47 % reduced-weight bottle.

Well done to our talented team for crafting award-winning glass packaging that fuse sustainability and style!

Studies have shown that the No-Lo market is certainly on the rise as consumers prioritise moderation and health, with sales almost doubling in 2023. This season, football fans were embracing non-alcoholic alternatives of well-known favourites for the latest UEFA championship.

More and more brands continue to add non-alcoholic alternatives to their ranges, aligning with this shift in the industry.

Like great artists sign their masterpieces, every bottle produced by Verallia UK is stamped with our signature code.

We take pride in the incredible work we do. Our code reflects the time and dedication placed into creating premium glass packaging.

An artist’s signature often signifies the completion of a piece, similarly a Verallia stamp signifies top-quality production, a high-calibre finish, and a distinctive glass bottle.

You can identify our bottles with our distinct punt marks “VUKG” and “VUKL” which mark Verallia UK Knottingley and Verallia UK Leeds – marked on the base of the bottle.

Keep an eye out for our Verallia code!
