About Emerys Builders Merchants
Emerys are an independent builders merchants operating out of both Telford and Stoke on Trent, we have been established for just over 100 years servicing both DIY and Trade customers with their building material needs. We offer collections from our yard and also deliveries using our fleet of HIAB wagons and tipper vans. We stock and supply a broad range of building materials from concrete blocks and cement up to roof tiles, we keep over 1000 different products in stock to ensure we are a one stop shop for our customers. There are a broad range of roles available in the business, from yard operatives to sales to accounts to wagon drivers.
Company culture
We are proud to foster an enjoyable positive culture among our teams with customer service at the forefront of all we do. We aim to support and rally around eachother to help drive an efficient, high performing team. We try to put on numerous events outside of work each year in order to have some positive group time away from the office, these include branch vs branch football matches, group Christmas parties and curry evenings. Outside of work many of our staff meet up for drink, nights out or pool matches. When a new person starts with us they will be working alongside a more experienced colleague initially in order to start forming those close relationships and having someone with a lot of skill and knowledge to learn from.
Employee benefits and perks
We provide a great range of benefits to our teams, we are always very flexible to help people keep a work life balance. If you need to do the school run and change your hours we are always happy to work with you to facilitate. If you have a doctors appointment or the car needs to go in the garage, you won’t be penalized by having to make up any “owed hours” we understand that life still goes on outside of work and trust every member of staff when they do need to leave the branch. This shows out commitment and investment in the team which is reciprocated in commitment and investment into their work. The company offers life assurance, generous pension contributions, 23 days holiday extending to 28 with continuity of service along with being happy to put you through any apprenticeship or CPD course that you wish in order to develop your career, this again shows investment in our people.
Career development and growth
Emerys are also proud to support home grown talent working their way up through our talent pipeline, many of our senior members of staff have started their careers with Emerys and progressed through the ranks of the business. We are always looking to develop staff either through apprenticeships or CPD courses the ensure we are keeping people in our talent pipeline ready to progress through the business. If you have a passion for driving and wanting to become a driver for us we would look to put you through your class 1 and 2 license and have you as a full time or relief driver. If you feel that numbers are more your strong point we could look to introduce you in the accounts office working through credit control, invoicing or banking. In the business and the industry there are a huge number or roles and we always try to have something for everyone!

Sustainability / environmental stewardship
We are always working closely with suppliers to ensure the they are doing as much as they can to offer the most sustainable and carbon efficient products. We try to reduce emissions by delivering to the same area with our wagons and keeping it as efficient as possible. We are moving to a paperless computer system where we email invoices to customers instead of printing off A4 invoices for them, making sure to reduce paper waste. Our drivers also have electronic tablets we use for deliveries and signatures once again to ensure we aren’t wasting paper on site.
