Our team at Sharples Davies has extensive experience recruiting for Builders and Plumbers Merchants across the UK. With an Ex-Director from E & J W Lake and Lakes Buildbase on our team, we have a deeper understanding of these roles.

• Independent Merchant, Doncaster
  We’ve worked with this family business in South Yorkshire for 20 years, recruiting for roles like Branch Manager, Marketing Manager, and Bathroom Showroom Sales Consultants. Three of their branch managers were placed by us.

• National Builders Merchant, Scotland
  Our former colleague Adrian Forbes and Gareth Hulme helped this merchant recruit two Branch Managers in small Scottish towns. Both placements were made through our Headhunt Search & Selection process. In 2022, we also recruited Internal Sales staff for several branches.

• Heavyside Builders Merchant, Wales
  Jennifer McDermott successfully recruited Kitchen & Bathroom Designers and a Social Media Marketing person for this family-owned merchant in South Wales.

• Heavyside Builders Merchant, North East
  Joanna Hulme helped this independent merchant in the North East recruit an Assistant Branch Manager. This candidate had been placed by Joanna in 2015 as a Sales Consultant, a great example of a candidate growing within the company.

• Independent Builders Merchant, Nottinghamshire
  John Lake and Gareth Hulme worked on recruiting for this Heavyside merchant in South Yorkshire, placing their Branch Manager. They’ve also recruited several Internal Sales people across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

• Independent Plumbers Merchants & Bathroom Showroom, Lancashire
  A client near us, who learned about Sharples Davies through supplying Gareth & Jo their bathroom products, has become a close partner of Joanna Hulme. She’s recruited for Trainee Sales, Trade Counter Staff, and even a Purchase Ledger Clerk.

Recruiting for branch-based roles and internal sales is our specialty. We take the time to understand the specific needs of each branch and the type of person that will fit well with the team. Then, we conduct a thorough search of the local market to find the right candidate.
