Family values run throughout our workforce..

Over the years we’ve built a solid team and workforce with some staff that have been with us for over 25 years. This is because we offer a work environment that’s friendly, happy and where our employees feel like part of the family.

We invest time and energy into our team by offering onsite training. We employ with career progression in mind and don’t overlook anyone who has the correct work ethic to ensure they’re fulfilled in their day to day work which helps us to maintain a family feel throughout the whole company.

Our family workforce has expanded progressivly over the last 8 years as we now employ over 100 members of staff. We started out with just 4 trade depots back in 1997 and now have 15+ trade counters across the country; Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Greater Manchester, all with a sizable sales team highly qualified at doing what they do.

A company we're proud of

We pride ourselves on happy, hardworking team members, exponential sales experience, a growing marketing team and strong accounts department

We’re proud to say we feel our sales team is the best in the industry; our talent has worked for large national manufacturing companies to smaller independent local building trade businesses. We utilise all of this experience, nurtured talent, work ethic and put it all under one umbrella which forms a great recipe for a thriving family company; TruSeal Plastics Group. Our team members work hard on a daily basis and have contributed to the growth of a building trade company that we’re all very proud of. 

Dedicated workforce

We invest in our team, and they invest in us which is why no one is overlooked or taken for granted. The workforce at TruSeal understand our commitment to client service which is why we always go the extra mile. Before quoting, we like to understand our clients’ needs, rather than issue a quote for 8000 products, we ask for client feedback, to ensure that we’re offering them the best possible products and the best possible prices.

One to one Client Service

All of our depot managers and trade counter staff have vast knowledge of how to install products. So if you’re from the DIY market and wonder how you’re going to fix that cladding, or taking on a home build project then we’re here to offer advice and guidance. You can pick up the phone and call us, or just ask behind the trade counter when you visit, we’ll point you in the right direction and put you on track.
