Majestic Wine has joined forces with digital platform for the over-50s Rest Less to attract a larger number of older colleagues to the company.<\/p>\n

The partnership allows Majestic to post vacancies from all areas of the business on the Rest Less job board.<\/p>\n

Rest Less, which was launched in 2019, helps its members \u201cget the most from life\u201d from employment opportunities to health advice.<\/p>\n

The move comes as the wine retailer has seen a rise in older staff members joining the business since the Covid pandemic and cost-of-living crisis, as rising interest rates and inflation push many over-50s back into employment.<\/p>\n\n

Majestic has welcomed 231 new workers aged over 50 since September 2019, making it almost a 90% rise in the number of colleagues it employs in that age range.<\/p>\n

Across its stores, the business has taken on 168 new staff members over 50 during the past four years.<\/p>\n

This means 35% of Majestic\u2019s colleagues in its UK stores, Hemel Hempstead distribution centre and Watford support centre are aged over 50, ahead of the average for UK retailers.<\/p>\n
