The Gender Pay Gap

The gender pay gap measures the difference in average earnings between men and women across an organisation. Like many in the technology sector, our gap is influenced by the underrepresentation of women in senior and technical roles, something that requires sustained, long-term action.

Our latest report shows continued progress in representation, pay transparency and inclusive leadership, but also reinforces that more needs to be done. We are focused on practical action across the employee lifecycle: attracting diverse talent, supporting progression, ensuring fair pay and promotion, and fostering an inclusive culture. This is underpinned by policies that support wellbeing, flexibility and long-term career development.

This report marks another step in our ongoing commitment to improving equity and representation at Ultima.

CEO Simon Williams says, 'I am pleased to share Ultima’s 2025 Gender Pay Gap data, reflecting strong progress and positive momentum, with a significant reduction in both the mean and median gender pay gaps. This data reinforces the opportunity to accelerate meaningful change and continue advancing towards greater equality.'

Lucy Macklin, Head of People Transformation adds, 'I am delighted to see our gender pay gap has improved and we are heading in the right direction. The data in this report has also helped us better understand where focused action could make the greatest difference for all colleagues.

'The merger with Trustmarque in November 2025 has created a valuable opportunity to build on the progress already underway at Ultima. Being part of a larger organisation opens access to broader development, mentoring and leadership programmes, alongside greater consistency in career architecture, role clarity and progression frameworks.'
