(Must be available on Wednesday 23rd September to attend an assessment centre in Swindon) You do require a full UK Drivers licence for this position Let's be honest: you've probably never considered a career with a builders merchant. You might be picturing muddy boots and dusty bricks and while we do have those, there's a much bigger picture. Travis Perkins is the UK's largest distributor of building materials. We are a multi-billion-pound business that helps build the infrastructure of the UK, from homes and schools to hospitals. Right now, we're looking for ambitious future leaders to join us. Some of our top Regional Directors started on the branch floor. They didn't start with a fancy corporate title; they built their careers here step by step. This isn't a typical, hands-off graduate scheme, it's a real-world, fast-track leadership route.
