Why Wolseley?
There are 15,000 different answers to that question – every member of our team has their own opinion on why they like working here. But, we can certainly pick out the main reasons why people choose us.
Size and Success
With a turnover approaching £3 billion, 1,800 branches, 400,000 product lines… Wolseley UK is a big business in every sense. Our growth has been spectacular and is set to continue at the same pace. Our team certainly like being part of a thriving organisation.
Career Development
Developing our people has been one of the key factors in our success. Training is a priority for staff at every level. We actively look to promote from within and are proud to say that we’ve helped countless members of the team fulfil their ambitions.
Benefits and Rewards
As well as providing competitive salaries, we offer an impressive range of benefits including an attractive pension. You can also look forward to excellent staff discounts and even a sharesave scheme.
Sharesave is a low-risk cash saving scheme, where you save money from net pay into a savings contract for a period of 3, 5 or 7 years. Your savings will earn interest in the form of a tax-free bonus to be paid at the end of the savings period.
You then have an 'option' (a right but not an obligation) to buy Wolseley plc shares (a part ownership in the Company) with all or part of your savings (including the tax-free bonus) at the end of the savings period; or you can simply withdraw your savings and tax-free bonus in cash.
Child Care Vouchers
If you have children from 0-16 years, you could benefit from Wolseley’s Child Care voucher scheme. This scheme allows staff on the Wolseley UK payroll to save up £1196 per parent per year on everything from nursery to after school clubs.
Enjoying yourself
As you spend most of your waking hours at work, you should enjoy it as much you can. Fortunately, you'll find Wolseley is a company with a sense of fun. In fact, we're living proof that a business can be professional and profitable, without being dull. Above all, being part of a friendly, successful team makes coming to work feel really worthwhile.
