At Ruxley Manor, our team is family. It’s about motivating and inspiring one another to move forward, as well as supporting and being there for each other when you’re needed. Our collaborative approach to everything we do builds respect, trust and a real sense of belonging. It’s these key principles that bond our Ruxley family together.
With open ears and a helping hand, we aim to exceed our customers’ expectations. Whether they’re browsing for a special gift, the final piece for a garden project or coming to meet Father Christmas, we want to add a little Ruxley Manor magic to their experience, leaving them feeling inspired and excited for their next visit.
We believe making a difference starts at home, and our actions can be a force of positive change. Our journey joins others who share a collective responsibility – to change for the benefit of their community, the environment and generations to come. Small steps lead to big changes, and that means a brighter future for everyone.
Over the years, we have accumulated a vast wealth of knowledge that has been built throughout our long heritage. We pride ourselves in continuously learning, allowing us to grow a deeper understanding of our field and contributing to a collective bank of wisdom. It gives us the confidence to be bold in our actions and straight forward with our advice.
We’re known for our fantastic service and that’s down to an enthusiastic and genuine approach to everything we do. This has allowed us to earn the respect and trust of our customers and has helped us build a strong foundation for lifelong customer relationships. It’s the way we’ve always done it and it’s how we mean to go on.

Our business has changed considerably over the years and therefore, no matter which area of the business you join, you will find that there will be plenty of opportunities to learn new skills.
