About Us

What’s it like to work for us?
We are a very down-to-earth and fun bunch at Buckhurst, and every depot has its own personality and culture.
Everyone has an important role to play within this family-run business, you’re expected to roll your sleeves up and “muck in," so to speak, so you may need a pair of boots in our plant yards.

Key Responsibilities
We offer competitive salaries in the industry and treat our staff fairly, and as individual people, we really look after you. We don’t hold anyone back, and there are many examples of employee promotions within the business.
