When it comes to appliances and electricals, we’ve got the lot. Washing machines? Yep. TVs? Check. Mobiles? Absolutely. Everything except doorbells (just kidding, we’ve got those too). We’re the UK’s most trusted electricals retailer, and making customers happy is at the heart of everything we do. It’s such a big deal at AO that even our logo is smiling! And it’s no different for AOers. We care about more than what’s on your CV, because together we can do extraordinary things. AOers are the kind of people you want on your team. Whether they work in our Recycling plant in Telford or in one of our 19 depots across the UK - they’re 100% themselves. There’s no need to jump through hoops, because we want to see go-getters thrive – and the business, of course. That’s why it’s instinctive to care about the work, because every AOer has a huge part to play. We work at AO speed, but we’re not busy fools. Our time’s too valuable for that. Becoming the destination for electricals isn’t a solo gig, so we’re serious about getting together. We think we’re better that way - like Ant & Dec or fish, chips & mushy peas. Whether we’re in the same meeting room or different locations, we work as one AO.

Brilliant to have all our outbase managers in Crewe recently to talk all things VCP 📈 VCP stands Value Creation Plan and is a scheme that all AO employees are part of, that aims to reward exceptional business growth over a five-year period. If certain targets are met, each AOer will receive a bonus payment from a shared pot, that grows as the business becomes more successful. Yet another great benefit of being part of the AO family 💚
