Join the Wolseley family
Our new colleagues tell us time and again that they’re impressed by our size, scale and the variety of solutions we have for our customers – but not before they’ve told us how much their team feels like a family. This family-feel is part of what keeps our colleagues here and keeps our customers coming back.
It's also what keeps us growing and driving forward standards of service across the sectors we operate in - leading the industry in terms of products, technical knowledge and specialist trade areas. Our training is well recognised in the profession, and our people stick around for long careers with us.
If you can ‘think on your feet’ and keen to learn and develop new skills for the future then we’d like to hear from you.
"Doing the right thing..."
Ensuring we’re doing the right thing is in our DNA. Not only in the way we look after, develop, reward and engage our colleagues but in our wider business practices too.
Having a diverse and vibrant workforce that reflects the communities we serve is a basic requirement for us. We do the same when it comes to our customers, our suppliers, the environment and sustainability to support the switch to more sustainable materials and the use of green-energy across the country.
