SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT FOR THE BUILDING PRODUCTS & CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY CHAIN
Evolution is a specialist recruitment and executive search partner supporting building product manufacturers, merchants, distributors, wholesalers and construction supply businesses across the UK.
We recruit talented people across sales, commercial, operations, supply chain, procurement, customer service, administration and leadership.
From branch and internal sales appointments to senior management and executive search, every assignment is handled personally, carefully and with a genuine understanding of the market.
We understand that an internal sales position within a busy merchant requires a very different combination of skills, personality and product knowledge from a national account, field sales or senior leadership appointment.
That is why every search begins with a proper understanding of the role, the team, the customers and the commercial challenges surrounding the appointment.
Whether you need someone to strengthen a single branch, support a growing sales office, develop a new territory or lead an entire business function, our focus remains the same: finding people who fit the organisation, not simply the job title.
RECRUITMENT THAT TAKES THE PRESSURE OFF
Recruitment is often only one part of a manager’s already demanding role.
Evolution takes responsibility for the search, approaching relevant people, conducting detailed conversations and introducing candidates who have been carefully considered.
You receive fewer unsuitable CVs, clearer communication and more valuable conversations.
WHO WE RECRUIT FOR & ROLES WE RECUIT FOR
Our specialist knowledge covers businesses that manufacture, supply, distribute and hire products used into, onto and around the built environment.
We work nationally with building product manufacturers, builders’ merchants, plumbers’ merchants, distributors, wholesalers, KBB businesses, tool and plant hire companies and specialist construction suppliers.

Reaching Candidates an Advert May Miss
Many of the strongest candidates are already employed, valued and performing well within their current organisation.
They are not necessarily browsing job boards, updating their CV or actively planning their next move. However, they may be willing to consider the right opportunity when it is introduced personally, professionally and with a clear understanding of what could make the move worthwhile.
Through direct search, specialist sector knowledge, long-standing relationships and a professional network of nearly 40,000 people, Evolution TalentBridge can identify and approach individuals who may never respond to a traditional job advert.
This allows us to look beyond the visible candidate market and reach people with the experience, industry knowledge and commercial ability your business genuinely needs.
Every approach is carefully considered and tailored to the individual. We take the time to explain the role, the business, the expectations and the potential opportunity before establishing whether there is genuine interest.
