Exceptional Selwood

I’m Emma, Technical Sales Office Manager based at Head Office. I’ve been at Selwood for about eight months and what a great eight months it has been! Some amazing things happen here in this little corner of Chandler’s Ford. 

I love the ethos of the company; we produce world class products and provide services that are second to none while looking out for each other and recognising everyone’s value in the team. That’s what it’s always been about for me… the people.  I’m very proud to be a part of the Selwood family.

Working for Selwood as a driver, I am treated as a person, not just an employee.

I love the variety of jobs that I do. In the morning I will be with one customer and in the afternoon, I’ll be with another customer in a totally different area. To Selwood the customer always comes first – we always do the best we can for the customer and customers rely on Selwood employees for their knowledge and experience.  

At Selwood we always do every job to the best of our ability and the company also has a great emphasis on always making sure its employees are safe whilst at work and following all the health and safety regulations.

I came to Selwood 12 years ago straight out of college. Selwood put me through a business and finance degree at university whilst also being able to work for the company. After being promoted a few times I’m now the Branch Manager of the Chandlers Ford Pump Rental Depot.

Every day at Selwood is different with each day bringing a new challenge and something to learn. Everyone here is very positive and we are all striving for the same goal – to get the job done with a happy customer!

Hello, I am Olawale, an Area Commissioning Engineer for Selwood based in Charlton, covering 4 branches in the south. Selwood is ‘one of a kind’ place to be and work in. It provides an excellent learning experience and variety of work every day. I'm always being given the opportunity to keep up to date with the training I need for my job to develop and get better at what I do. Selwood take good care of you and progresses your learning and development.

When I joined, I had other offers from other companies, but it was Selwood’s professionalism that drew me to the company. The people I work with are a pleasure to be around and we have a lot of fun whilst we are working efficiently. Everyone is really dedicated to getting the job done safely and successfully.

I’m Fraser and I work as a Hire Manager in Glasgow Pump Hire Branch. I have been at Selwood for 11 years now, starting as a yard labourer. Having previously been in the military, I was looking for the camaraderie you get in armed forces in a position out of the forces. At Selwood I’ve found that we’re all one team trying our very best to get the job done to the best of our ability.

Selwood really look after their staff. We're like one big family and you can talk to anyone. I'm always available for my staff and my managers are always available for me. The job is really rewarding, If we all do well then the branch does well!

Hi, I’m Abigail, I’m a Sales Rep for Selwood Pump Solutions and I’ve been with Selwood for nearly two years. I love my job - it’s fun and the team at Selwood are fantastic. Selwood offers you all the support you need to get the best out of yourself and your job and have fun while you’re doing it.

Selwood also have the best products on the market. I used to work for a competitor, and it became clear to me that Selwood pumps have higher quality equipment and service and I wanted to be a part of the winning team!

Everyone has the feeling that they are a part of something great and we’re all one team working towards the same goal.

Selwood gives you the opportunities to be the best you can be, for you to fulfil your potential as a person not just an employee. I believe in the saying “If you treat your staff right, they treat your customers right” and that’s exactly what happens here at Selwood. As employees we are looked after and then in turn, we make sure our customers get the very best service from us.

Hi, I’m Michelle. I work in a Plant Hire depot in Sittingbourne, Kent. I love working for Selwood because we have such a great team at the depot and a great range of plant available for hire. All the staff have different responsibilities and are very hard working, but we have great fun along the way.

At Selwood you can really push your career forward, you learn a lot and they offer lots of training. The team are like a family - you will be given your freedom to get on with your task, but if you need support or encouragement the management are always close by to offer it when needed.

I love coming into work each day. We have a great team, and everyone is here to support each other. It feels like a family; the team bring all the good points out of you to enable your growth and success in the company.

Selwood’s success is largely due to the value that they place on their staff and customers. They genuinely want the best for them and will bend over backwards to help. Because of this people can really go places in Selwood. I started two and a half years ago as an IT Technician and I am now the IT Support & Implementation Manager.
