EVie receives Jersey Living Wage Accreditation

EVie – We are focused on delivering affordable, accessible, and sustainable transport solutions across the island. Through a mix of services – including point-to-point options like On Demand A2B and flexible A2A round trip cars and vans – we ensure that transport works for everyone, whether for commuting, errands, or leisure. As a tech-driven company, we combine innovation with a people-first approach, enabling more islanders to travel efficiently while reducing environmental impact. Our vision is simple: to provide smarter, cleaner, and more affordable transport for Jersey’s future.

Jersey Living Wage Campaign – Caritas Jersey has been licensed by the Living Wage Foundation in the UK to manage and co-ordinate the promotion of a ‘Living Wage’ in Jersey. The Living Wage campaign is one of Caritas’ four main projects; the others being the Social Inclusion Project, Prisoners' Families Support Scheme & Homelessness Project. The purpose of encouraging employers to sign up as Living Wage employers is to play a part in eradicating poverty in Jersey.

The Living Wage takes into account the cost of living, taxes and the value of benefits available to working people on low incomes. Its aim is to make sure that, on average, a worker receiving the Living Wage rate, topped up by in-work benefits, earn enough to be able to live with dignity and to thrive, not just survive within our Jersey community.  The Living Wage rate for 2024 is £13.41 per hour.

Nick Perchard-Rees - EVie CEO said, “Being recognised as a Living Wage employer is a significant milestone for us at EVie.  We believe that creating a sustainable future isn’t just about protecting our environment; it’s also about supporting the people who help us get there.  Paying a fair wage ensures our team feels valued and empowered, and it aligns with our mission to build a business that is not only environmentally sustainable but socially sustainable too.  Everyone deserves to thrive, and we’re proud to play our part.”

The CEO of Caritas, Patrick Lynch, said: “We are very happy to accredit Evie as another Jersey Living Employer.  We thank Nick and his team for their commitment to the Living Wage campaign; at this time of year it is more important than ever for people to receive a Living Wage as Christmas bills need to be paid for and many people face rental increases and an increase in the cost of utilities in the new year.  We encourage others to follow EVie and support the Jersey Living Wage Campaign in 2025.”
