Who we are

We’re Travis Perkins Hire, part of the well-known Travis Perkins Group, with over 250 hire branches across the UK. We help customers through every stage of their building or renovation projects — whether they need tools, plant, powered access, welfare units, or waste services.


We make hiring easy. We offer great prices, expert advice, safe and reliable equipment, and trusted delivery and collection services.


About the role

We’re looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Hire Manager to lead our Luton branch. This is a fantastic opportunity if you enjoy working with people, have a passion for customer service, and want to grow your career in a busy, successful business.

What’s in it for you?

At Travis Perkins, we believe in helping you grow. You’ll join a well-respected company with over 500 branches across the UK — and plenty of chances to learn and move up.


We offer:

  • A competitive salary

  • A performance bonus to reward your success

  • Share schemes — Save-as-you-earn and Buy-as-you-earn

  • A generous company pension

  • Discounts across the Travis Perkins Group (including 20% off at Toolstation)

  • MyPerks savings at big-name shops, restaurants, and more

  • Wellbeing support when you need it


Working hours: Monday to Friday, 7:30am–5:00pm, 

Plus 2 Saturdays in every 4 (8:00am–12:00pm)


What you’ll do

  • Drive sales: Build and deliver a strong plan to meet and beat targets

  • Lead your team: Motivate and manage for high performance

  • Keep things safe and smooth: Make sure equipment is ready, safe, and well maintained

  • Manage stock: Make sure you have the right tools and equipment in branch

  • Train and support: Help other team members understand Hire through training and coaching

  • Deliver great service: Offer smart, helpful solutions to our customers

  • Communicate clearly: Hold daily team briefings and keep everyone informed

  • What we’re looking for

  • Experience in tool or plant hire is ideal, or in leading a team in a sales or customer service role

  • Strong leadership skills — you know how to get the best out of people

  • A focus on safety and high standards

  • A proactive mindset — you’re always looking for ways to improve and get results


Ready to apply?

If you’re ready for a new opportunity where your skills will be valued and your future supported — we’d love to hear from you.
