About Elliotts

Elliotts is an independent builders’ merchant serving customers across the South of England. Founded in 1842, we remain family owned and focused on doing things properly.

We keep things straightforward - know our customers, work safely, deliver reliably, and support each other as a team. Decisions are made locally, close to the work.

The business is led by Tom, the great-great-great grandson of the founder. That long-term, hands-on approach shapes how we operate and how we look after our people.

Many of our team build long careers here. It’s a stable, supportive environment where people take pride in their work and back each other day to day.

The role

• Ordering stock and merchandising the shop.

Although previous knowledge and experience aren’t everything, here’s a few competencies that would help you hit the ground running;

• Excellent customer service and communication skills.

• Ability to use Microsoft Windows.

• Knowledge of building industry products would be a distinct advantage but training will be provided for the right candidate who shows enthusiasm to learn.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a friendly person who is skilled at first impressions to join not only a great team but a great family run business, who strive to go the extra mile for its customers.
