Supporting Service Leavers

In March 2017, our CEO John Carter, signed the Armed Forces Covenant, making Travis Perkins plc the 1500th organisation to do so.

Daniel's Story

“As a business, Travis Perkins has long recognised the valuable skills and attributes those with a serving background can contribute, not only to our own workforce but also to the wider economy.”

Having actively recruited over 200 service leaders since 2015 in roles spanning branch management, IT and Supply Chain we have been rewarded with a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) GoldAward. This symbolises our effort and commitment to support, recruit and develop armed forces personnel.

We have partnered with Careers Transition Partnership (CTP) where you can come along and meet us at organised events, speak with us on Live Chat and ask us any questions you may have.

Daniel's Story

Heading

"I would highly recommend a career within the Travis Perkins Plc to any ex forces personnel the number of roles available along with the different career paths to take, make it a business to be a part of."

“I did not envisage when I started in 2010 as a warehouse operative that just over 7 years later I would be in a Operations Manager role. I have worked hard to get where I am but the support I have received from BSS and the TP group has helped me a lot along the way..”
