Job description

Assistant Branch Manager – Stowmarket


We’re the UK’s largest builders’ merchant, but our Stowmarket branch feels like a tight-knit local business. If you’ve got a background in the trade and know the Stowmarket area, we want to talk to you.


The Day-to-Day:


You’ll be the right-hand person to the Branch Manager, helping lead a solid team of 11. Between our two delivery vehicles and the Tool Hire side of the business, there’s always a lot moving.

  • Lead the floor: Keep the team motivated and make sure the service at the counter is spot on.

  • Grow the business: You’ll be key to spotting new sales leads and keeping our regulars happy.

  • Keep it running: From stock accuracy to health and safety, you’ll make sure the branch is sharp, safe, and organised.




What we’re looking for:


We aren't hung up on whether you’ve been an Assistant Branch Manager before. If you’ve got the experience in a builders' merchant and you know how to sell, that’s what matters most to us.

  • Trade Knowledge: You know your timber from your lintels and understand how a merchant works.

  • Local Connection: It’s a big plus if you know the local area and the tradespeople working in it.

  • The Right Attitude: We want someone keen, hungry to prove themselves, and ready to take the next step in their career.


What’s in it for you?


  • A decent balance: Mon–Fri (7:30 am - 5:00 pm) with only two Saturday mornings (8am - 12pm) every four weeks.

  • The Package: Competitive pay, bonus, pension, and private medical.

  • The Perks: 20% off at Toolstation and big discounts across the whole Travis Perkins Group.

  • Career Growth: We’re massive on internal promotion. If you prove yourself here, there are plenty of places to go.



Apply Now:


If you’re ready to get going and help us grow this branch, hit apply. We’re an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from everyone.

(Note: Just a heads up, any offer is subject to a few standard background checks like a basic DBS and financial check—standard stuff to keep everyone safe.)
