Jewson has launched a recruitment drive across Farnborough and the surrounding areas as it continues work on its first purpose-built ‘Branch of the Future’.

The Farnborough branch, which due to open "later this summer", represents the next milestone on Jewson’s journey to rebrand its business, as announced in May this year.

As part of parent company STARK Building Materials UK’s ‘Trust in Better’ strategy, Jewson is implementing a comprehensive investment programme to optimise its branch network across the nation, including major refurbishments and new purpose-built distribution facilities.

With over a dozen new roles already filled, the new Farnborough branch is still looking to fill in a few positions. Jewson is particularly keen to hear from students, apprentices and candidates from a hospitality and retail background to join a varied team.

Branch Manager Domi Scrivener said: “Unlike many merchants who only hire from the construction industry, we want to do things differently with the new Branch of the Future in Farnborough. We are committed to hiring a diverse range of people from varied career backgrounds, alongside those looking to take their first step on the ladder and experience the many benefits of working in the merchant sector.

“The most important qualities are a willingness to learn and passion to be part of an enthusiastic team - we can teach the rest. In return, we provide a range of benefits and all new recruits will be enrolled on a thorough eight-week induction programme and have the opportunity to visit the incredible new Jewson branch of the future while it is still being built.”
