The New Crew Pay Rate, April 2024…

With the Government’s announcement of the national minimum wage increase we’d like to clarify what it is you can expect from DC Site Services in terms of pay in the new financial year.

As you may be aware, in 2021 we made the decision to pay our crew at least 50 pence above any national minimum wage increase and we continued this into 2022. These are small steps in an effort to recognise the hard work of our crew, but they are years in the making.

Looking forward, from April 2024 the new national minimum wage will be £11.44, therefore the new crew rate will be 50p higher at £11.94 + £1.44 holiday (paid concurrently) which will give crew a take home of £13.38 per hour before deductions.

Let’s enjoy the festive period, and then its onto the new season!

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
