"Hard-working" and "enthusiastic" are certainly up there near the top of the list. We're practical people who roll up our sleeves and get things done, just like our builder and plumber customers do in their daily lives. Being the best in the business is very demanding, no matter what business you're in. But we also play hard. Our people develop many strong and lasting friendships with their colleagues, and the sense of camaraderie at our branches is an important ingredient in our success.
There's a "can do" attitude that runs right through the company. "Personal drive" is important to us, as we look forward to challenges and enjoy building the relationships and solutions that help us surmount them. We're "goal-oriented" and focused on how we can meet customer needs and therefore grow our business.
We're also very "supportive" of colleagues. Training and development are integral to the company, as we strive to help all of our people full fill their potential.
Several other important elements add to our unique corporate culture. The way our company is organised in autonomous branches combines the advantages of a small business and a large corporation, resulting in the best of both worlds. Advancement is based on merit and creates great opportunity for everybody connected with Wolseley.
