Gender Pay Narrative

Mandatory Gender Pay Gap reporting applies to all private and voluntary sector employers in England, Wales and Scotland who have at least 250 employees as of 5 April 2017.  Those organisations are required to publicly report their gender pay gap metrics on the government sponsored website with the aim of eliminating the gender pay gap.

Ralph Trustees Ltd is a family-owned group of luxury hotels and apartments located in and around central London.  Each of our establishments has its own individualism and its own sense of style and all are operated by people with a genuine passion for relaxed luxury service.

Over the past few years we have placed emphasis on driving equality of pay within our business, and we can report that as of 5th April 2026, our mean gender pay gap stands at 10%, favouring males (10.2% for 2024/2025). This is above the average gender pay gap reported by the Office for National Statistics for previous years, which stand at 6.9% for 25 [7.1% for 24] for all employees.  There is a gap of 0.5% for 2025/26 favouring females in terms of median pay, which was at 1.8% as reported 2024/25. 

Our mean gender pay gap in bonus stands at 61.8% (compared with 65.6% 2024/25) and median gender pay gap in bonus stands at 64.5% (compared with 43.5% 2024/25), favouring males in 2025/26 and in 2024/25.  In 2025/26, 16.4% of female and 15.1% of male employees received a bonus (compared to 13.6% of male and 15.2% of female in 2024/25).

We continue our commitment to driving equal pay across our business, not only through our reward strategy, but also through our approach to recruiting, training, developing, coaching, promoting and supporting our teams.  The full metrics including the analysis within each quartile are shown below:
