I’ve been at Kingfisher for 3 years and had the opportunity to develop my career in that time. I joined as a manager and I am now a head of, managing a team of 5. With the right drive and motivations, there are opportunities to progress and develop here, which is great.

The best part about Kingfisher is the colleagues I engage with as part my day-to-day. They are passionate, hardworking, and bring positive energy to the workplace. They inspire me to be better.

Karl Arpon | ESG Engagement Manager

I am inspired by the range of projects I work on, from supporting Kingfisher’s charitable foundations to raising awareness of how the business responds to humanitarian issues caused by climate change which reflect our values as a responsible business. I enjoy working with colleagues in different countries. I have flexibility with hybrid working and being trusted to do my job.
