RS is a global solutions partner for industrial customers and suppliers. Our business has operations in three geographical regions – the Americas, EMEA and APAC, supported by global organisations for supply chain, corporate functions, marketing, and product & supplier management.

Our market today is large, fragmented, local in nature and digitally immature. Only a few international distributors serve it, with many regional and local providers, who largely trade offline. We stock over 2,500 supplier brands, 500k products and 61% of our sales are digital.

We are committed to Making Amazing Happen for a better world and our Vision is to become first choice for customer, suppliers, our people, and communities.

RS is committed to creating an inclusive environment where people thrive. We recognise that a diverse and representative workforce is critical to our success, and our aim is to create a business where people can be their true selves. Our employees expect this as a matter of course and it is fundamental to how we attract, develop, and retain the best talent.

In line with our D&I policy, we recruit and develop employees who are the best suited to the requirements of the job role, regardless of gender, ethnic origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
