Travis Perkins: does its group apprenticeships sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyTravis Perkins Group Apprenticeships (over 40 programmes, Level 2 to Level 7, including Kitchen Design, Sales, Buying and Merchandising, Data and Management)

Unconfirmed. Travis Perkins publishes no sponsorship policy for its group apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Travis Perkins plc is the UK's largest distributor of building materials to trade customers, with more than 1,400 branches and 17,000 colleagues across Travis Perkins, Toolstation, BSS, Keyline, CCF, Benchmarx and TF Solutions. Its apprenticeship offer is unusual in that the group runs its own training provider, LEAP Apprenticeships and Early Careers, which also trains apprentices for other construction sector businesses. Alongside LEAP the group works with Multiverse, Exeter University, the National Logistics Academy and the Open University to offer over 40 different programmes from Level 2 to Level 7. Named subjects include Kitchen Design, Sales, Buying and Merchandising, and Data and Management apprenticeships. The group has announced a target of bringing 10,000 new people into the industry through apprenticeships by 2030. The scheme was rated Good in all areas by Ofsted in May 2023. Nothing published addresses visas, sponsorship, residency or nationality.

“Our main apprenticeship partner is LEAP Apprenticeships & Early Careers although we also work with Multiverse, Exeter University, the National Logistics Academy and the Open University.”
Travis Perkins, from its own careers pages
The catch: In branch roles start at age 18 and over, which rules out a school leaver at 16. The apprenticeships page is written largely for existing colleagues developing within the business rather than for external entrants, so check which a vacancy is. English apprenticeship funding normally requires three years of UK residency or settled status, which Travis Perkins does not restate. The group spans seven trading brands, so the brand you join matters as much as the programme.
