Economy secretary Keith Brown has announced a Dundee social enterprise as the latest employer to pay the living wage.

The Wise Group, based on Balunie Drive, is the 845th company to commit to the programme, which is currently £8.45 per hour.

The group aims to make a positive difference to people, communities and society by helping customers gain new skills and employment, reducing reoffending, regenerating communities and tackling fuel poverty.

Mr Brown made the announcement during a visit to the city's Steeple Church, where he met with staff members and customers.

Mr Brown said: "This proven investment in people leads to increased productivity and reduced staff absence, while sending a strong signal about fairness to your organisation's stakeholders, and I applaud Wise for recognising its value.

"As well as setting a great example to other businesses, and in particular other social enterprise's across Scotland, this achievement marks another positive milestone on our journey towards having 1,000 Living Wage accredited employers by autumn 2017."
