RS IN THE UK & IRELAND

Within our RS UK&I team, we have a wide range of experts and specialists that are passionate about making amazing happen for our customers. Together, we provide vital products and services that keep industries moving.

You won’t find many companies in the UK & Ireland that don’t rely on RS for something. From mechanical and electronic distribution to maintenance and safety solutions – we have a unique set of capabilities that enable us to add real value for our customers every day.  

Our colleagues work across sales, customer services, operations, marketing, product, and supplier management – as well as various other support functions –  we’re a talented and collaborative bunch, inspired by the journey we are on to achieve greatness.

LIFE AT RS

Diversity, inclusion and sustainability aren’t just buzz words at RS. It’s how we do business. It’s in our DNA.

We have a number of Employee Resource Groups that cover topics such as Gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, Ethnicity and Race. These groups are made up of passionate and inspired individuals that are determined to make the world – and RS – an even better, more inclusive place.

Our approach to ESG is clear and it reflects our purpose of ‘making amazing happen for a better world’. We have developed a 2030 ESG action plan which outlines our commitment to advancing sustainability, championing education & innovation, empowering our people, and doing business responsibly. At RS, we have made huge strides in these areas over the last few years, but there’s so much more to come in the future.

Our UK&I operations spread far and wide across the region. We have large offices in Corby, London and Dublin, as well as 16 RS Local Branches which are rooted in the communities that they serve. This gives us the perfect balance as part of a global organization, but with local knowledge and community values.
