Company culture

Our purpose is to help build better communities. We do this by helping customers construct better and more sustainably, so communities can thrive for generations to come.

Our values reflect who we are and what we do:

• We care
• We give our best to be the best
• We’re better together

Nothing is more important than the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and those around us, ensuring everyone goes home safe and well every single day.

We’re a welcoming company that wants everyone to belong and be themselves regardless of gender, ethnicity and demographic. You be you, it makes us, us

Employee benefits and perks

We offer attractive and fair pay and pensions. Depending on performance, there is also the opportunity for colleagues to earn a bonus and share in the company’s success through special share and savings programmes.

Our family-friendly policies support colleagues for those moments that matter in their lives, and everyone has access to life insurance, affordable loans and many retail discounts to help salaries go further.

We also have great health and wellbeing benefits, including health checks, an app that enables our colleagues to get doctor appointments 24/7, and talk to mental health counsellors and other medical experts to help them stay healthy.

Career development and growth

We are a friendly and welcoming company and really want people with different skills to join us. For those who do, there are lots of different jobs here, from working in an office to serving customers and making deliveries.

Whatever you do, it’s a great place to work, and to learn new skills and be successful. We offer brilliant training programmes to make sure our colleagues keep developing, including 50 different apprenticeship programmes, so we stay ahead of the competition and help our customers consider the environment and create great places we can all enjoy.

EDI (equity, diversity & inclusion) initiatives

We have an ambition to be inclusive, diverse and equality driven and are on a journey to create workplaces where everyone belongs, feels safe and comfortable about who they are, and is valued for their contribution so they can perform at their best. You Be You, It Makes Us Us

 To achieve this, we have six communities that focus on areas where we want to improve: gender balance, LGBTQI+, cultural and ethnic awareness, youth, ability and ex forces.

We’re also part of the 30% Club to mentor women into leadership roles. We also helped to establish the Construction Inclusion Coalition to improve diversity in construction.

Sustainability / environmental stewardship

We help customers build and construct more sustainably by focusing on three key areas:

1. Care for the environment:

Reducing waste and carbon by using and selling products that are less harmful to the environment, and using less or more sustainable fuel to power our fleet and buildings.

2. Care for our colleagues and those around us:

We want our colleagues to reflect our communities, feel safe and operate safely, and have the skills, confidence, ambition and support to be the best they can be.

3. Run our business in a responsible way:

We believe in doing the right thing; treating everyone fairly, making sure our products are of good quality, and that we get our products from trusted and ethical suppliers.
