LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s Costa Coffee will give over 15,000 hourly-paid workers an average 9% pay increase from April 1, it said on Thursday.

The coffee and sandwich chain, a unit of Coca-Cola Co, said its starting rate will rise from 10.70 pounds ($13.42) an hour to 12 pounds an hour – ahead of the government mandated minimum wage, which will increase by 9.8% to 11.44 pounds an hour from April.

($1 = 0.7971 pounds)
