Job description

Imagine stepping into a role where the hard work has already begun.

From day one, you're trusted with a well‑established portfolio of loyal customers across Yorkshire and the North East. These relationships are strong, the reputation is solid, and the opportunity is clear : take what already works and grow it further. With high‑quality engineered components behind you, your expertise becomes the driving force that turns long‑term partnerships into increased revenue and profitability.

Your week is balanced and purposeful. Half of your time is spent at the Sheffield office, collaborating with colleagues, shaping plans, and refining strategy. The other half is out in the field - visiting customers, negotiating opportunities, strengthening partnerships, and uncovering ways to expand product usage within existing accounts.

This isn't a cold start. It's a chance to build momentum.

You’ll be empowered to manage accounts your way, using your experience in components sales to spot opportunities others miss. Through confident negotiation and commercial insight, you’ll increase account value, protect margins, and position yourself as a trusted advisor rather than just another supplier.

Along the way, your market knowledge matters. Feedback from customers, insight into competitor activity, and an understanding of emerging trends all feed into wider sales strategy - and your voice is heard.

What you gain from this role

• A salary of £45,000 with monthly bonus potential of £200-£500
• Company car to support your regional field activity
• An established customer base that allows you to deliver results quickly

A hybrid role offering autonomy, variety, and balance

The opportunity to represent a respected product range with real growth potential

A supportive, performance‑driven environment where success is recognised and rewarded

What you bring to the story

• Essential experience in components sales - this is non‑negotiable
• Proven success in account management, growing existing customers and increasing spend
• Strong negotiation skills with a commercial mindset
• Confidence building long‑term relationships at all levels

Self‑motivation, organisation, and the ability to manage your own region effectively

Comfort working in a role split between office‑based planning and field‑based selling
