Builders merchanting is a 'People Business' with lots of face-to-face contact with customers.

With a variety of jobs some of which are outdoors, there's a wide and varied choice. There will be work in the yards serving customers; work on trade counters; in shop areas; sales; administration; driving delivery lorries; even work as a sales representative.

There's great opportunities for career progression through apprenticeships and further management training, and there's even a professional institute you can join.

After initial training and experience you might want to run your own business.

There are jobs located all over the UK so there will be opportunities locally.
