On 1st October 2014, we were pleased to announce that D.G. Controls became a Living Wage Employer. Here at deegee we have a solid, long-serving team, and we hope they enjoy the benefits!
What is The Living Wage?
- An hourly rate set independently and updated annually
- The Living Wage is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK
- The current National Living Wage is £7.85 an hour
- The current London Living Wage is £9.15 an hour
- Employers choose to pay the Living Wage on a voluntary basis
- The Living Wage enjoys cross party support, with public backing from the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition
- Paying the Living Wage is good for business, good for the individual and good for society
What are the benefits?
GOOD FOR BUSINESS
An independent study examining the business benefits of implementing a Living Wage policy in London found that more than 80% of employers believe that the Living Wage had enhanced the quality of the work of their staff, while absenteeism had fallen by approximately 25%.
Two thirds of employers reported a significant impact on recruitment and retention within their organisation. 70% of employers felt that the Living Wage had increased consumer awareness of their organisation’s commitment to be an ethical employer.
Following the adoption of the Living Wage PwC found turnover of contractors fell from 4% to 1%.
GOOD FOR FAMILIES
The Living Wage affords people the opportunity to provide for themselves and their families.
75% of employees reported increases in work quality as a result of receiving the Living Wage.
50% of employees felt that the Living Wage had made them more willing to implement changes in their working practices; enabled them to require fewer concessions to effect change; and made them more likely to adopt changes more quickly.
GOOD FOR SOCIETY
The Living Wage campaign was launched in 2001 by parents in East London, who were frustrated that working two minimum wage jobs left no time for family life.
The causes of poverty are complex and in order to improve lives there should be a package of solutions across policy areas. The Living Wage can be part of the solution.

The deegee team celebrated Christmas on Friday with an afternoon of fun in the office, followed by a meal out at Jee Ja Jee’s Indian restaurant in the evening.
There was bingo with prizes and a very funny game of Pictionary with some … interesting drawings.
Even Ian got into the spirit and wore a Christmas tree headband! We all had a brilliant time despite some sore heads in the morning.
All of us at deegee would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
A range of modular stacking (click-together) beacon lamps, often called andon lights, with high environmental protection to IP65 standard (sounder ASA is IP54).
These products are ideally suited to internal or external multi-status signalling applications, and are commonly used on machinery as a visual alarm to draw attention to warning messages and fault conditions, helping minimise avoidable periods of non-productivity.
This modular approach enables stacks to be constructed from any combination of module types and eases the task of design and maintenance engineers, system integrators and stockist/ distributors. The comprehensive range builds from a common base/terminal module and offers choice of visual indicator modules including LED (Rotating, Pulsed and Static), Xenon Strobe, Filament Lamp (Pulsed and Static), together with electronic sounders.
•All external parts are moulded from engineering-grade, UV-stabilised polycarbonate for enhanced durability
•To complement the range, Wall Mounting Brackets, Pole Mounts, Compression Glands and AC to DC Converter Modules (UC-RECT) are also available
•These devices are totally modular and can be used as single indicators or multi-stacked up to 6 modules high
Note:
For each stack required, order one Base+Cap Module, and individual Indicator Modules/Lamps
Maximum stack = One Base+Cap Module + six (maximum) individual / assorted modules, of which one can be a Sounder Module
Following a customer request, we have begun offering many of our IPN Indicator Panels with a dimmable option – ideal for applications where the lights are to be installed in staff working areas and can be too bright and distracting.
Units can be either set to one of five pre-set intensity levels (100%, 50%, 25%, 10% or 5%) using internal jumper links, or configured to run at 100% with a single lower intensity level (50%, 25%, 10% or 5%) selectable by an external control signal.
Models that already have this function as standard are: IPN/006 “STOP”, IPN/010 “Cross”, IPN/012 “Arrow”, IPN/017 “Go” and IPN/023 “Full”.
Next to join the list in the coming months is the IPN/002. Please contact our sales team for availability.
