Plumbase is part of the UK’s largest independent plumbing, heating and bathroom merchant, built on a network of over 310 sites.
We operate differently: no central scripts, no one-size-fits-all. Each site runs with real autonomy, led by people who know their customers, their stock, and their local market. That independence makes us faster, closer to our customers, and proud of what we do.
We’re growing fast. And we’re always on the lookout for people who want to take ownership, make things happen, and be part of a business that still runs on trust, teamwork, and flexibility.
Barker and Stonehouse is the UK's largest independent, family-run furniture retailer bringing you the finest in quality, style and value since 1946.
Here's a bit of background about who we are and what we do...
A FAMILY HERITAGE
Britain, 1946. Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse decided that this drab and dreary ration-book nation needed a little cheering up. To that end they opened the very first Barker & Stonehouse store in Stockton, and began, what has since become, a nationwide network of fine furniture and accessory stores.
