Wolseley UK’s Management Training programme is a great opportunity for
enthusiastic graduates to progress quickly within one of the largest
distributors of construction products in the world.
With 950 branches nationwide and 6,500 employees, Wolseley UK is a
leading distributor of plumbing and heating products and a major
supplier of construction materials to the trade in the UK.
Our structured 18-month programme is designed to grow Wolseley UK’s next
generation of managers by giving graduates the practical hands-on
experience they need to take on a management position within 12 months.
From day one, you’ll be an important member of the team dealing with
real customers and everyday situations in our busy branches. You’ll
spend more time in boots and a hi-vis jacket than you will in a business
suit – learning how we do business at our trade counters. Together with
classroom training, assignments and support from the business, the
programme will equip you with the personal and professional skills to
succeed at Wolseley UK.
