Costa Coffee is increasing hourly wages for 16,000 workers by up to 7.3% from this April.
Base pay rates for Costa baristas will increase from £10 an hour to at least £10.70.
More experienced Barista Maestros will see hourly pay rise from £10.53 an hour to at least £11.23, depending on location and role.

He continued: “We continue to live in uncertain times, but we are passionate about putting our teams and communities first.
“By always investing in our stores and our teams, we can give everyone a little boost each time they step inside their local Costa Coffee.”
