Builders’ merchant Travis Perkins is to create 4,000 jobs – nearly three jobs a day – and 400 new branches across the country over the next four years. The majority of the jobs will be outside London and the south east.
There will be a mix of 170 apprenticeships for younger people, and 200 branch managers and assistant managers a year, skilled IT professionals and supply chain specialists. The company has taken on 1,500 people in the past 12 months.
Britain’s largest distributor of building materials to trade and retail customers currently employs more than 24,000 people in the UK across nearly 2,000 branches. Last year, the company made revenues of £5.6bn. It is investing £150-200m a year in the business.
