Ever since we were founded in 1891, John Wainwright & Company Ltd has been delivering quality and service to customers throughout the South West.
Headquartered at Moons Hill Quarry in the Mendips, we provide a one-stop shop for the construction industry, as well as local authorities and National Highways. Our activities include aggregate extraction and processing, manufacturing asphalt and other surfacing products, and contracting.
Doing the Right Thing by Our People
At Wainwright, we are committed to the wellbeing of our people. We know that our employees are our greatest asset, the team that helps our business thrive and ensures we deliver quality and excellent service to our customers.
That’s why we have updated our staff benefits package. We want to make sure we’re doing the right thing for everyone, providing meaningful support through every stage of life.
We believe in compensating our employees fairly for their hard work and dedication. Our salaries are competitive and reflective of industry standards.
We offer a range of family-friendly benefits, including enhanced maternity, paternity and shared parental leave, paid dependents’ leave, and enhanced bereavement leave, to support our employees through important life moments and provide flexibility when it matters most.
We are committed to supporting both the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees. To achieve this, we provide a comprehensive health cash plan alongside a range of wellbeing programmes and resources designed to help our people stay healthy, balanced, and fulfilled.
In addition, we offer subsidised gym memberships, a weekly supply of fresh fruit at every site, and access to an Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support and guidance. Our Cycle to Work scheme also encourages healthier, more sustainable commuting options, helping employees incorporate wellbeing into their everyday routines.
We make generous contributions to our employees’ pension schemes to support their long-term financial security and future wellbeing, and complement this with annual financial advice and pension clinics delivered by independent external advisors, helping employees make informed decisions about their future.
