This week, we’re proud to support Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025! The theme, ‘Celebrating Different Minds,’ highlights the many ways people think, learn, and process information. At Toolstation, we know that neurodivergent colleagues bring incredible strengths, perspectives, and talents to our teams. That’s why we’re sharing some of their inspiring stories—starting with Dave’s. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #ThisIsND

With International Women’s Day tomorrow, we’ve been asking some of our leaders—both men and women—how they’re planning to #AccelerateAction this year and push for gender equality. Here’s what our Finance, Property & Distribution Director, Lakhvir S., had to say. “The industry has made great progress over the last decade but there is still a lot more to be done and we all need to play our part to ‘be the change we want to see’. Personally, I am so pleased to have played a part in the working group that delivered family friendly policies for our colleagues, and we need to continue to drive the change we want to see!” Lakhvir is also featured in the 2025 WiHTL & Diversity in Retail index, recognised for her impact, leadership, and contributions to our industry. She joins a brilliant cohort of women shaping the future! #IWD2025 #InspiringLeaders #EquityDiversityInclusion

I was thrilled to be asked to share my career story at the first face to face Elevate Women’s Network established for members of the Construction Inclusion Coalition. What an amazing buzz in the room with everyone feeling safe enough to tell their stories on the subject of microaggressions led by Sophie Turner. It served as a reminder to me of why we established the Construction Inclusion Coalition - to improve equity and inclusion across our industry, because listening to the stories shared, things are not changing fast enough. It’s imperative that we change not only to attract a diverse workforce but to ensure we retain them in our businesses by ensuring we have truly inclusive environments and cultures. The Elevate network is just one part of the work being done by members of the Construction Inclusion Coalition to support our member businesses to build inclusive workplaces and a more inclusive construction industry. Please reach out to me or Anthea Marris if you are interested in joining the CIC and being part of this coalition that is about action and bringing about tangible change #ElevateWomensNetwork #Inclusion #Womeninleadership #builtonbetter

Whether you're looking to upskill in your current role or want to start anew and learn on-the-job, apprenticeships are a great way to learn new skills, work on personal development, and meet new people 🙋♀️ We asked our previous apprentices what made them consider starting an apprenticeship and what tips they have for anyone wanting to give it a go! #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW25 #apprenticeships #SkillsForLife LEAP Apprenticeships & Early Careers Travis Perkins plc

It's always a pleasure to work with VIY on community projects, and the most recent at Plumstead Working Men's Club was no different! 27 young volunteers came together to repair and refurbish this 116 year old club, spending 10 days working to transform the space. The work included painting, decorating, and revarnishing the wooden floors, with help from a floor sander from our partnership with Travis Perkins Hire! The club serves the local community, regularly hosting darts tournaments for the London Youth National League 🎯 After all their hard work, we were so proud to see that the majority of the volunteers had been awarded City & Guilds accreditations in Health & Safety and Painting & Decorating 👏 Another bullseye from VIY and all the volunteers on this project! We're looking forward to continuing the great work together for our fifth year running.

What better way to kick start National Apprenticeship Week than to celebrate our apprentices here at Toolstation! 🥳 Meet Andy, Jayne, and Scott, some of our colleagues that recently dove head-first into learning new skills and gaining confidence in their roles. They've really captured the spirit of this years theme "Skills for life" with their feedback and advice on taking on an apprenticeship. Take a look at how they've been getting on with their programmes so far ⬇️ #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW25 #apprenticeships #SkillsForLife LEAP Apprenticeships & Early Careers Travis Perkins plc

We launched our charity partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support back in 2020, and since then we’ve been working together to help them support the nearly 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer 🤝 We’re in our 5th year of fundraising, and teams across the business are already hard at work raising money, planning events, training for challenges, and so much more. One team we’re keen to introduce you to is our London Marathon runners for 2025 - Amy, Millie, Lewis & Jon. These 4 incredible colleagues from across the business have been working hard to be race ready for the big day 🏃 They’ll be lacing up their shoes and taking on this huge challenge in order to raise vital funds for people living with, and affected by, cancer. We’ll be sharing their training progress soon, but until then, you can find out more and donate to their efforts using the Just Giving link here: https://lnkd.in/d2-mxiNr #WorldCancerDay #fundraising #Macmillan #LondonMarathon
