What a difference: Butlins Best Place to Work

Butlins3.jpgWhat a difference a year makes, especially for Butlins owner Bourne Leisure.

Back in February 2007 the holiday camp operator faced a compensation bill of up to £1m after a court ruling that wage deductions for gas and electricity used by live-in staff at the holiday sites was illegal.

The case affected 6,000 workers – typically employed for the holiday season – that had had £3 deducted from their weekly wages to pay for their energy use, taking their pay below the National Minimum Wage in some cases.

But that’s all history now as Bourne has made it into this year’s Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For list as part of its placing of the 20 best large companies to work at.

So from Bourne Ultimatium to Bourne Supremacy.
