We employ around 79,000 people who operate around 5,300 branches in 28 countries across two continents. Our growth has been nothing short of dramatic. In 2006 we achieved over £14 billion in sales and profits of £877 million. On average, we have doubled in size every five years over the past two decades.
At Wolseley, we are building a future as a truly global business with a very strong European presence. From the UK and Ireland to France, Austria and Hungary, we have a growing presence in 21 countries across the continent. We also have extensive operations in North America.
And we're likely to move into new areas in the coming years. Within Wolseley, there is a drive to leverage our strengths across our many different businesses. This won't just happen on its own. We need high-quality managers who can take the strongest parts from our businesses and bring them together in a spirit of sharing and co-operation.
