Culture & values
Russwood’s core values are quality, expertise, innovation, environment and community. We strive to be the best for our customers through unrivalled technical expertise and customer service and to do our best for the environment by offering sustainable, high-performance timber products. While the business has grown and we’ve built our reputation on professionalism and being experts in our field, we’re proud to say that Russwood still retains the feel of a family business. It’s a friendly and supportive place to work and you’ll find there’s always someone willing to help if you need it. Transparency and inclusion are very much part of the business and we hold regular company updates where we share information and plans for growth with the whole team.

Training & development

We aim to provide training opportunities which include an induction programme for all new employees to assist them into their new role, and a progressive training and development scheme to enable everyone to develop relevant skills and acquire knowledge to underpin their current role and career aspirations. We regularly review our level of investment in staff training and development to ensure that adequate resources are being provided, and also that training and development activity is delivering a benefit to both employees and Russwood.
Living in the Cairngorms
Most of our roles are based at our headquarters in Newtonmore. Located in the Cairngorms National Park, Newtonmore and the surrounding villages offer a fantastic place to live. Just a mile and a half off the A9, Newtonmore is ideally located for accessing a wide range of amenities and activities. The railway passes through Newtonmore, with the train station right outside our office.
The local area is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts with walking, cycling, fishing, golf, canoeing, skiing, climbing and just about any other outdoor activity you can think of available nearby. We consider ourselves very lucky to have such an adventure playground on our doorstep! If you prefer watching over taking part, Newtonmore’s Shinty Team plays most Saturdays at the Eilan and if you are more of an indoor person, there’s a cinema at Macdonald Aviemore Resort and plenty of great cafes, pubs, and restaurants to enjoy.

Russwood are committed to personal development to help build confidence in your role. Since joining the marketing team I have received training in SEO, PPC and communications to help further develop my skills and fulfill my role as Marketing Assistant. I have since been promoted within the company to Marketing Executive.
