Who we are
We’re BSS, part of the Travis Perkins Group, and we provide the heating and plumbing essentials that keep homes, offices and buildings running smoothly across the UK and Ireland. With over 50 branches and a strong partnership with TF Solutions, we’re more than a supplier – we solve problems, support new technologies and help customers reduce their carbon footprint.
What you’ll be doing
This is your opportunity to be enrolled on our industry‑leading apprenticeship development scheme, which will underpin a successful career. You’ll work while completing a bespoke 30‑month program that takes you through all areas of the branch and then into management development, giving you the skills to lead a team.
Training & Development
During the first year you’ll learn about our safety‑first approach, the industry, the market and our business strategy. You’ll also learn how to sell by providing great service and gain a deep understanding of our product base. In the second year you’ll learn about leadership styles and how to inspire a team. Your learning will be on‑the‑job, with time set aside each week for coursework, and you’ll receive 1:1 coaching, mentoring and technical and skills training. At the end of the training you’ll complete an endpoint assessment and, on successful completion, will achieve an L2 Apprenticeship in year 1 and an L3 Apprenticeship in year 2.
