Huws Gray

Since opening our first branch in Anglesey in 1990, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s leading independent builders’ merchants and specialist distributors. Today, with over 300 locations and around 5,000 colleagues, we’re proud to serve customers across the UK with a wide range of building materials and specialist products. Supported by Blackstone since 2021, we’re continuing to expand and create opportunities for talented people to grow with us.

Listening to our colleagues is a key part of how we continue to grow and improve. That’s why we’ve partnered with Great Place to Work, giving our teams a platform to share their views and helping us build a stronger two-way conversation between colleagues and leaders across the business.

We’re also committed to helping our people develop their careers. Through the Huws Gray Academy, colleagues have access to a range of learning and development opportunities designed to build skills, boost confidence, and support future career progression.

To help our colleagues stay connected, we’ve launched an internal communications platform that brings together teams from across our businesses. It enables colleagues to collaborate, share ideas, celebrate successes, and access useful information that supports them both at work and beyond.

By investing in our people, listening to their feedback, and creating opportunities for growth, we’re building a culture where colleagues can thrive and achieve their full potential.

From the wide range of benefits you’d expect from a leading employer to new initiatives designed to enhance colleague wellbeing, we’re continually reviewing and evolving our offering to ensure it remains relevant, valuable, and rewarding.

We also believe that when the business succeeds, our colleagues should share in that success. That’s why every colleague has the opportunity to participate in a bonus scheme, recognising the important contribution they make to our continued growth and performance.

For more than 30 years, our colleagues have been at the heart of everything we do. Every role across the Group plays a vital part in our success, and we recognise the skills, experience, dedication, and relationships our colleagues bring to the business every day. It’s their commitment that helps us deliver great service to our customers and build strong partnerships with our suppliers.

We’re passionate about helping our colleagues reach their full potential. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking to take the next step, we encourage everyone to share their aspirations and explore opportunities across the Group. Through ongoing training, development, and support, we’re committed to helping our colleagues achieve their career goals while building a rewarding and successful future together.

As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Because when our colleagues succeed, so does Huws Gray.
