Working for Grafton Group

​Working at Woodie’s has been and continues to be an outstanding experience. I began my Woodie’s journey in November 2015 working as a part time Store Colleague while in college. Over the years I have seen Woodie’s continue to grow as a company and invest in their colleague’s development. In 2021 I was offered the opportunity to join the HR Team in the Support Office on an internship that led to the progression of a full-time permanent position. I am looking forward to progressing within the company and to see what the future holds for my Woodie’s journey.

​Right from the first interview, I knew CPI was going to be an outstanding company to work for and since I started in 2018 I still feel the same. CPI operates with a positive attitude and a DNA of growth, employee wellbeing and strong values. As a plant manager, the role gives me daily challenges and the chance to work with some exceptional people. Throughout CPI there is respect, care and colleagues listen, these qualities flow through at all levels.

In my role as Assistant Accountant, I get to work with many colleagues from various departments. Since I started in 2019, all my colleagues have made me feel very welcome and after a short period of time, I felt very much part of the team. I enjoy learning the different aspects of working in a manufacturing company where we are encouraged and supported in career progression and professional development.

​I have been an Operations Coordinator at CPI EuroMix since 2019. When I joined the company I was welcomed by everyone and it is a friendly working environment. I have felt fully valued and supported and had the opportunity to develop and progress professionally. This has been made possible by the management team allowing me to have an impact on the operating procedures, whilst involving me in a number of projects and service contracts working with International companies. Operations allows me to be involved with so many different areas of the company at once, the opportunities to grow are endless!

​I work in the Group’s Internal Audit team. I joined Grafton at the start of 2019 having worked previously for companies in the construction, utilities, housebuilding and education industries. I enjoy working at Grafton for the varied work that I get to do and that I get an opportunity to contribute towards improving the business. I really enjoy building new relationships with colleagues and working together to solve the different challenges each day brings.

I started working at Isero in September 2016. I’ve always been fascinated by the construction industry. Therefore I’m so excited I now work, with passion and fun, as a senior account manager in our Key Accounts team. I want to keep on learning and developing myself. Isero supports me by providing education, training and learning on the job, ever since the first day I started working. I started my career at Isero without experience in construction. Thanks to the learning environment, support and curiosity I developed as I did. My experienced colleagues are always available for questions and I’ve learned that working at Isero is always about teamwork. To add to that our interesting customers and the excellent products and services we sell, make Isero a great company to work!

​I have been in this role since joining Grafton in 2014. The main thing I enjoy about Grafton is working with a great team of people who are striving to help the business manage its risks and improve its processes and controls. Also, my role has a great deal of variety, working across all businesses and functional areas in the Group, and with the opportunity to take part in different projects. Finally, I really enjoy belonging to an organisation that is looking to grow and develop in a responsible way and playing my part in helping it to do that.

I've been with StairBox since 2013, but have been within the timber staircase industry since leaving school. I have held a number of different roles both "hands on" as a bench joiner and office/field based. As Commercial Manager I work closely with the sales team on a daily basis, also supporting our Directors as required. Having been with StairBox for a number of years it has been humbling to see the growth of the company. Each day is very different and we have a great supportive team around us.

I started working at Grafton in November 2020. I really enjoy working at Grafton as all my colleagues are very helpful and welcoming. The role has allowed me to work with several colleagues all across the business which has been a great experience especially since this is my first job after university.
