**About us**

BBS Plumbing & Heating Supplies is a local independent family-owned plumbing & heating merchant. We’ve been established since 1933, so what we don’t know about plumbing, heating, bathrooms, and outstanding service, is not worth knowing Over the past ten years the business has developed extensively growing from a single branch to several. We now have branches and bathroom showrooms located across Bristol, Bath, and Yate, with more in mind.

**What makes us different?**
- Work-life balance - Bank holidays off, Sundays off and you won’t be expected to work every Saturday either
- Family-owned - treating you like family, not a number.
- Progression - we promote from within, so it’s easy to progress with us.
- Family-fun days - football, shooting, golf, ladies’ days and more.
- Mental health - providing you with a counselling EAP service and more.
- Performance bonus - achievable and generous to aid financial wellbeing.
- Holidays - 25 days holiday as standard plus bank holidays on top.
- Sick pay - paying you up to 5 days sick per rolling year.
- Staff discount - for you, your friends, and your family.
- Pension - saving for the future, we’ve got this covered.
- Cycle to work - we’ll help fund this through salary sacrifice.
- Shopping discounts - helping your income stretch further.
- BBS culture - where you’re encouraged to Be brilliant, Be yourself & Succeed.
