STARK UK launches new careers website

STARK Building Materials UK, distributors of building and construction materials, has launched a new careers website, Working at STARK, designed to show young people, career changers and returners the breadth of careers available across the building materials sector.

The site puts STARK UK’s colleagues front and centre through testimonials and video case studies to show the many routes people have taken through the business, including colleagues who have benefitted from flexible working arrangements that have helped them to develop in their careers.

The new website uses AI-powered technology to personalise the users’ experience. As they navigate the platform, it learns from their activity and builds a profile that shapes the roles, articles and content they see.

HR director at STARK UK, Carol Kavanagh, said: “The trades build Britain, and the merchants that supply them offer some of the most varied careers in the sector. Too often young people don’t realise you can start as an apprentice in a branch or behind the wheel of a lorry, and end up running a branch, managing projects or working in digital and AI.

“Our new careers website lets our people tell that story themselves. Many people don’t know where they’d fit until they see the options. The site helps point them to the right role from day one. We want anyone thinking about their next step to see that there’s a place for them at STARK UK and a clear route to grow.”
