Why have so few people heard of Wolseley?

Chip Hornsby

"It's true that there's low awareness of our corporate brand, but if you ask around in the countries where we operate you'll find the individual businesses are well-known. We are in fact currently raising our corporate profile and it's already much higher than it was a year ago."

Bob Morrison

"We're a very large company and we're going to get larger. Wolseley may not be a household name, but the products we distribute are fundamental to homes, schools, factories and offices in all the countries where we operate."

Rob Marchbank

"Wolseley is certainly the best-kept secret in Europe. We may not be well-known among the general public, but the reputations of our companies are very strong in their own markets."

Audrey Clegg

"We've recently added the strapline 'A Wolseley Company' to the individual business identities. From Stock Building Supply in the US to Tobler in Switzerland, the Wolseley name now underpins the local businesses. A lot of people are surprised when they find out just what the Wolseley umbrella covers."
