Selco Builders Warehouse, a key brand within Grafton Group PLC, traces its roots back to 1895. The company has evolved over the years, transitioning from a family business to a recognised name in the industry. Today, Selco Builders Warehouse operates over 70 self-select builders merchant warehouses across England and Wales. The company is committed to accommodating its customers' needs, offering a vast array of over 15,000 products that can be conveniently 'clicked & collected' or 'clicked & delivered'.

At Selco Builders Warehouse, employee engagement is not an afterthought. The company recognises that its success is built on the dedication and hard work of its colleagues. To support its team, Selco Builders Warehouse offers a Health Cash Plan, which reimburses 100% of essential health-related expenses such as optician and dentistry fees. Further demonstrating its commitment to its team, Selco has introduced EarlyPay, allowing employees to access their earned income at their convenience, not just on pay day.

The company is also proactive in fostering a sense of community and engagement among its staff. Selco Builders Warehouse organises Engagement Days four times a year, each based on a different theme. Teams across the company participate in these events, sharing their experiences on Selco's communal comms platform.

In terms of environmental responsibility, Selco has taken significant strides. The company has purchased forests in Scotland and Wales, with the aim of offsetting its carbon emissions from customer deliveries. Additionally, Selco Builders Warehouse supports Cancer Research UK, engaging in various fundraising initiatives for the charity.
