Join one of these teams and you’ll help drive our fantastic growth, by reaching and serving customers through different channels, whenever and wherever they need us.

Part of the Travis Perkins Group
As part of the Travis Perkins Group, we’re part of a major FTSE 250 organisation that gives us all the backing we need to grow in our own way.
Their investment gives us the confidence and ability to expand our branch network so quickly. It gives us the chance to focus on getting everything right for our customers. And it gives us the freedom to develop our own approach.
This means that, although you’re joining a well-respected group, you’ll feel like you’re joining a smaller, start-up business. In fact, whether you join a branch, a distribution centre, our contact centre or Head Office, you’ll find there’s a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. So, you’ll fit right in. And from there, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow your career in all kinds of directions.

Supporting great charities
We partner with a number of charities that make a big difference to the communities where we live and work. For example, we’ve sponsored Macmillan Cancer Support since 2020 and our colleagues have raised funds in lots of different ways. Since launching our charity partnership we’ve raised over £3 million to help fund vital physical, financial, and emotional support for the millions of people living with cancer across the UK.
We’ve also launched a collaboration with micro-donation charity Pennies. Allowing customers to add an optional donation to Macmillan Cancer Support onto their purchases when paying by card and contactless.
We also supported several additional charitable initiatives. Continuing our partnership with Volunteer It Yourself (VIY), the social enterprise supporting volunteers aged between 14-24, who may be disengaged or excluded from mainstream education, to learn DIY and trade skills. And supporting the Lighthouse Club charity by signposting tradespeople through an innovative campaign across all our channels.
