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.
Local deliveries. Regular hours. Time for life outside work.
As a local builders’ merchant, our deliveries are generally close to the branch, serving customers in the surrounding area.
You’ll work 8.5 hours a day, Monday to Friday, generally between 7am and 5pm - with your evenings free and no night shifts.
Want to earn a little extra? There’s also the opportunity for overtime every other Saturday morning, from 8am to 12pm.
