• Exclusive discounts – Enjoy colleague discounts across a variety of Group businesses, including 20% off at Toolstation.
• Wellbeing support – We offer a range of support to ensure you stay at your best.
• Work-life balance – Our working hours are designed to give you a great work-life balance, with most weekends and bank holidays off.
