About Elliotts
Elliotts is an independent builders’ merchant serving customers across the South of England. Founded in 1842, we remain family owned and focused on doing things properly.
We keep things straightforward - know our customers, work safely, deliver reliably, and support each other as a team. Decisions are made locally, close to the work.
The business is led by Tom, the great-great-great grandson of the founder. That long-term, hands-on approach shapes how we operate and how we look after our people.
Many of our team build long careers here. It’s a stable, supportive environment where people take pride in their work and back each other day to day.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
