Working For Timpson
We pride ourselves on being an excellent company to work for. We believe that the benefits, training and support you will receive will be second to none. Most of our managers , and all of our field colleagues are promoted from inside the company. No previous experience is needed to join our apprentice scheme.
Our culture is unique, with the colleagues driving the business being the ones that serve the customers. This is what we call upside down management
