The role

We are TF Solutions, the one stop shop for all air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump products and with substantial growth over the past decade, we're becoming one of the leading Air Conditioning & Refrigerators distributors in the UK, so we'd say we know a thing or two about our sector. We're also now part of the Travis Perkins Group, recognised as one of the UK's top employers.

Joining our friendly and hardworking family as a Customer Service Apprentice, you'll be on the front line dealing with our customers that come into our shop. As part of the branch team, you will play a vital role in our continued success providing a first class service.

What you'll do

Not one day is the same in TF Solutions branch life, but here are a few pointers:

You'll get exposure across a number of areas within your branch, allowing you to see where your strengths and interests lie. This will vary between talking to our customers in our trade counter or speaking to them over the phone. You'll be working with our team to get our products to the customer safely and efficiently.

You will be based inside processing our customer orders, answering the phone, keeping stock and facing up shelves. You will also be dealing with supplier deliveries and accurately booking them in branch.

You will also gain experience in our warehouse, gaining product knowledge to provide the best service to our customers, and with the administration team to fully understand all areas of the business.

Full training is provided to use our systems, and a coach will be assigned to help you on your development programme for the first 12 months.

Our success is built on strong relationships with our customers so it's essential that you can help deliver the highest standards of service - the key thing is to be helpful and friendly, you will likely get to know our customers on a first name basis

What you'll be doing

Being a Customer Service & Sales Assistant in the Travis Perkins Group gives you a fantastic opportunity to excel and to continue to develop your career, if you choose.
