Start a successful future as part of our team!

At Building Materials Nationwide, our future is rooted in helping our customers source the building materials and tools they need. We are looking for people who believe that we can accomplish so much more together than apart.

About us

From humble beginnings in 2003, Building Materials Nationwide has become a leading supplier of materials and tools for the construction industry and passionate DIYers. In 20 years, we have grown from a one-man band to a UK-wide business of more than 60 staff members. Our website consists of more than 45,000 products and we are continuing to grow at a fast pace to reach ambitious targets.

Be part of a growing company

We have ambitious targets and are rapidly expanding. An ethos close to our heart is "people buy from people" and we are looking for driven and vibrant individuals to join our team. 

We do not focus on the products we sell, but on the people that sell them. The knock-on effect is we have experienced growth year after year, and this will only continue as we keep expanding our team.
