Team Background

Kellaway completing some

Kellaway's most valuable asset is our team of staff. We pride ourselves on delivering first rate customer service to a standard that cannot be matched by the national chains, and owe our reputation to our excellent staff.

We strive for a culture which is friendly, team-oriented, enthusiastic and committed.


There is a history of independent builders' merchants being absorbed by the national chains and this can sometimes deter experienced people from applying to us for employment. Kellaway Building Supplies is a family business; it's independent and intends to remain this way.

We are an equal opportunities employer and our employment policy is one of continuous development and support.

It's very pleasing to see people progress their careers through the business and succeed to a supervisory or managerial position. Nevertheless, we recognise that individual aspirations differ and that many people will achieve their full potential and job satisfaction in a valuable support function rather than a management role.

Employee benefits include a stakeholder pension scheme with additional contributions by the company, free life assurance, group health insurance, an independent financial advice service and staff purchase arrangements.
