Bonus for dairy staff who beat snow

Jan 28 2010

Dairies firm Robert Wiseman, based in Glasgow, said it is paying £100 bonuses to its 3,500 staff for battling through the snow to keep the nation's milk flowing.

The bonus, which is costing Wiseman £400,000, comes after record sales in the week to January 9 when the weather disruption was at its height.

Wiseman said sales were more than 10% above a normal week as shoppers bought in supplies. It received "exceptional feedback" from its supermarket customers.
