B&Q Ireland

B&Q Build a Life Project Report 2024 Today we’ve published our first Build a Life Project Annual Report, highlighting the initiatives we’re taking and the progress being made to improve our impact and achievements for the planet, our communities and our colleagues. We continue to make good progress against our targets. We’ve reduced carbon emissions from our operations – Scope 1 and 2 emissions - by 63.5% since 2016/17 and, by offering products with improved energy efficiency to help decarbonise homes, collaborating with suppliers to help tackle manufacturing emissions, and using fewer and different production and packaging materials, we’re reducing the intensity of our Scope 3 emissions. In 2023/24, our community programmes helped more than 718,000 people and we donated more than £3 million to the B&Q Foundation and national partner, Shelter. We’re proud of our progress on standing for inclusivity – we do not tolerate abuse or discrimination of any kind by anyone – colleagues, customers, contractors or business partners, as well as our enhanced HR policies from kinship paid leave to paid leave for armed forces cadet volunteers.

Meet Jamie Doyle, Showrooms Manager at our B&Q Galway store and a proud graduate of our Retail Management Apprenticeship who has worked with B&Q for 17 years! From starting as a Customer Advisor to now being a Trading Manager in the Showrooms Department, Jamie's journey showcases her dedication for continuous learning and development. In 2020, Jamie took the opportunity to join our Level 3 Retail Management Apprenticeship. "I loved the apprenticeship because it was all centred around on the job learning. Since starting the apprenticeship, I have gained a whole new skill set. This golden opportunity has allowed me to undergo prosperous growth. When I started the apprenticeship, I was a customer advisor for stock flow however I am now a trading manager in the showrooms department. The apprenticeship has taught me how to deal with stock storage, customer service and supporting my colleagues in store. Third level education is not for everyone, but learning is. Everyone has a different style of learning, and I’ve learnt that mine is on the job learning. I want my children and others to know that just because you don’t have third level education does not mean there are no alternative routes available to help you becoming successful. My route was the B&Q apprenticeship. While I have gained so much from this journey I hope to continue to grow, develop and build on my career.” To find out more about a career at B&Q and the apprenticeships we offer visit - https://bit.ly/3yeuCaW #BandQIreland #BelongAtBandQ #TogtherWeCan #BandQCareers #BandQApprenticeships #CareerGrowth
