Weird, Wonderful, and Paid Fairly: Otherly Is Now a Living Wage Employer

There’s normal. And then there’s Otherly.

We’ve always danced to a different beat; plant-based chocolate made with oatm*lk, a brand world filled with joyfully odd creatures, and a mission that celebrates everything that makes us unique. But behind the illustrations and deliciously creamy bars is something just as important: real people, doing real work.

That’s why we’re over the moon to share that Otherly is now an accredited Living Wage Employer.

🌈 What does that mean? It means every full-time member of our Edinburgh-based team is now paid a wage that reflects the actual cost of living, not just the legal minimum. Because fairness isn’t some extra topping. It’s the base layer of everything we do.

🌀 Why does it matter? Weird is wonderful. But wage justice? That’s essential. This move reflects our ongoing commitment to doing things the Otherly way, which is just another way of saying: the kind, conscious, human way. It’s a thank you to our team for the love and creativity they pour into every part of the Otherly world.

In the words of our Founder, Calum Haggerty:

"At Otherly, we celebrate differences, but fair pay shouldn’t be one of them. Becoming a Living Wage Employer is about doing the right thing, because everyone deserves to thrive, not just get by.”
