High Pay Centre

An independent, non-partisan think tank focused on the causes and consequences of economic inequality, with a particular interest in top pay.

It is with great regret that we are announcing the imminent closure of the High Pay Centre.

As the Prime Minister declares he wants to end 40 years of neoliberalism and establish a new economic model for the UK, we are publishing this essay arguing that economic democracy, worker voice and corporate accountability must be central to these plans.

Our annual CEO pay report published today showed that the gap between the pay of FTSE 100 excutives and UK worker is the widest it's been for 8 years.

A FTSE 100 CEO is now paid £5.06 million - 130 times more than a typical UK worker.

goodness what a sad day. Indicative in too many ways of the times we are living through.
Well done over those years @HighPayCentre. I will miss you and our society will be worse off for not having you there https://t.co/mULK8Gl4MF

@JimMooreJourno Thank you for your kind words. Were very disappointed it has come to this, but are looking to ensure that others can continue our work

[James Moore @JimMooreJourno]

The @HighPayCentre has announced that it is closing down.
Real shame. Whether you agree with it or not, the think tank has done invaluable work scrutinising executive pay, shining a light on CEO contracts, their implications and the impact they have.
It has helped encourage transparency and fostered an important debate.
I particularly liked their January analysis of when the average CEO has earned what the average Brit makes in a year. It's usually within a few days of the start of the New Year.
