We would like to say a massive thank you to our CEO, Nick Roberts, for his leadership and commitment to the Group over the last five years. We wish him the very best of luck for the future 👏 ☘
I will shortly step down as CEO of Travis Perkins plc after over five incredible years with the Group. It’s been a great privilege to serve this business, and to lead it through arguably the most significant period of social, economic and political disruption in our lifetime. Yet despite it all we have made tremendous progress; simplifying the Group to focus on trade customers, changing the way we, and the industry around us works, modernising our technology and our branches, leading the industry on critical issues such as apprenticeships, carbon, inclusion and safety and wellbeing. While we have celebrated successes and navigated challenges, at the centre of it all has been the quality and character of colleagues. Thanks to them, and to our suppliers and customers who have worked with us through a very challenging period for our industry. I am confident that the Group will continue to thrive under the Group Leadership Team and wider leadership community, and the new leadership of Pete Redfern. As I look to the future I’m excited to see how the business continues to make great progress, and I will forever hold a deep fondness for this great business which will always remain for me, a National Treasure. Stay safe and well

By working closely with Kier Group our Keyline Civils Specialist business has been able to deliver on sustainability targets on an eight-year Birmingham Highways project. By Keyline Civils Specialist acting as a bridge between manufacturers and the contractor, the project benefited from more sustainable alternatives, such as non-concrete bollards and a tagging system that makes managing the life cycle of a product more straightforward. 🤝 By working together, innovative, sustainable solutions to challenges were found, resulting in a reduced environmental impact for the overall project.

As a top 40 2024 Apprenticeship Employer, which reflects our commitment to developing the next generation so we continue to deliver for our customers, we attended the Top Apprenticeship Employer launch at the House of Commons yesterday. It was great to hear from Baroness Jacqui Smith, Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships & Higher Education, and meet so many other leading apprenticeship employers and the Department for Education’s Apprenticeships Directorate. We fully support the Government’s vision for apprenticeships which echoes our own commitment to upskill our business and our industry, to help build better communities. Our target is to train 10,000 apprentices by 2030.

We’ve made a significant leap towards sustainability by reducing our Scope 2 emissions over the past few years. How? Switching to a renewable electricity tariff for all our UK sites. Using HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) instead of diesel in a number of our HGVs Switching to Electric Forklift trucks, as part of Project Switch Installing LEDs in our distribution centres and branches Together, these small changes make a big impact, helping us and our customers contribute to a more sustainable future. #Sustainability #TravisPerkinsGroup

To help us build a more diverse workforce, BSS established a development programme where recruitment was targeted at a more diverse audience, and where progress was accelerated with the help of a tailored management apprenticeship. Thankfully, Megan Burroughs was one of those who joined us, and having now completed two apprenticeships (Level 2 Trade Supplier and Level 3 Management Apprenticeship), she now works for us as a Commercial Assistant Category Manager. #BSS #CIC
“Being a young woman can be tough in this business sometimes, but I’ve been able to buy my own house at a time when my friends at uni are only just finishing and I’ve had so much support and such a varied career already.” Megan Burroughs started her journey in the Construction industry with an Apprenticeship at BSS, part of Travis Perkins plc, one of our Coalition Strategic Partners. She has now upskilled and worked her way to becoming an Assistant Category Manager. Read her journey in the industry and more case studies here - https://lnkd.in/gV-ueYjF #BuiltOnBetter
