We are on the lookout for future leaders to join Travis Perkins, could this be you?

Travis Perkins plc. You’ve probably heard of us, you’d have seen our trucks on the road, and more than likely would have seen a bag of our sand on your neighbour's driveway. But there is more to us than just that. With 5 businesses in the group, spanning over 1,300+ locations, we are the UK's largest distributor of building materials to the building, construction and home improvement markets.

We’re now recruiting for a Branch Manager Apprentice to join our Travis Perkins team.

Our Branch Managers are the backbone of our branches and possess the leadership qualities that enable our teams to deliver an unrivalled level of service to our customers. Our managers are entrepreneurial and are encouraged to be forward thinking in order to drive success in their branches. 

Depending on the size of the branch, you could be leading a team of 7 colleagues, all the way up to a team of 40 colleagues, all operating in a variety of different roles (typically Yard Assistants, Sales Assistants, Drivers, a Hire Team and an Assistant Manager) 

You’ll hold accountability for the branches P&L, maintain the high safety standards that we have set in Travis Perkins, be sales focussed, drive and engage your team and run a branch that is known for delivering excellent service to our customers.
