Background
McGhee’s has been a family bakery since 1935, and since then has grown to become one of the largest independently owned bakers and wholesalers of bakery and morning goods in Scotland.
Throughout our history, and never more so than today, our success is dependent upon the quality of our staff and cultivating an environment of being part of the McGhee family.
While equal pay is a different issue from the wider concept of gender spread throughout an organisation, McGhee’s employees doing the same job, with the same responsibilities, are paid the same, irrespective of gender or ethnicity.
