  • Mucking in - this means checking and unpacking deliveries, stocking shelves, cleaning the branch, and putting orders together
  • Delivering great service - providing an exceptional customer experience with a smile, no matter how busy it gets
  • Asking questions and building relationships - this looks like ensuring customers leave with all they need for their project and fostering strong customer relationships
  • Building a fun working environment - maintaining high product availability and store standards and creating a branch atmosphere that everyone loves working in

  • Reliability:
    • Be consistently available when we need you, showcase flexibility, and add a fun dynamic to the team. 
  • Being yourself:
    • Bring your complete self to work, letting your genuine personality shine through in all you do. We want everyone to be at their best and it’s our ambition that everyone within our Group feels confident to be their authentic selves and that they belong. You be you, it makes us, us.
