We keep things straightforward - know our customers, work safely, deliver reliably, and support each other as a team. Decisions are made locally, close to the work.
The business is led by Tom, the great-great-great grandson of the founder. That long-term, hands-on approach shapes how we operate and how we look after our people.
Many of our team build long careers here. It’s a stable, supportive environment where people take pride in their work and back each other day to day..

· Multi drop deliveries to both building sites and residential addresses in the local area
· Serving customers with a wide range of building materials, both manually and with a forklift
· Loading/unloading lorries
· Receiving and storing products from suppliers and dealing with associated paperwork

· Full driving license, together with a Counterbalance forklift license (preferred but training can be provided)
