- Experience: Solid, proven track record in full-scope domestic kitchen fitting or joinery.
Package, Rates & Benefits
- Consistent Pipeline: Regular flow of work through an established national brand with strong retailer partnerships, reducing downtime between jobs and eliminating the need to market yourself or quote for work.
- Dedicated Operational Support: Office and management backup to coordinate between you, the customer, and the supplier, assisting with product shortages, damages, remedial works, and customer queries.
- Payment Security: Clear, reliable payment processes through an established business with no chasing overdue customer invoices.
- Fully Funded Training: Complimentary health, safety, and compliance courses including Asbestos Awareness, COSHH, Manual Handling, Working at Height, Fire Safety, Hand-Arm Vibration, and Accident Awareness.
