Britains Got Talent

John Carter

Chief Operating Officer

"When I joined Travis Perkins at the age of 17 as an ambitious Management Trainee in 1978, I never would have thought that almost 30 years later I would be Chief Operating Officer of the biggest British-owned Builders' Merchant and Home Improvement company in the UK. Travis Perkins has given me fantastic career opportunities, backed up by solid training and strong support in a friendly, down-to-earth environment.

"It's such an exciting time for our business right now. Travis Perkins is a company that's going places. We have seven highly successful businesses employing more than 17,500 colleagues. We're opening more than 70 new branches and stores every year giving you a great opportunity for career progression in branch and store management, as well as in our support functions of finance, IT, supply chain, buying, marketing, sales, property and many more.

"Travis Perkins is truly a great place to work, and I would encourage anyone to consider joining our great team of talented colleagues."
