UK Manufacturer of Building Products

Location : UK (Territory-based : East Anglia)

Salary: £40,000£47,000 + Car Allowance / Company Car + Bonus + Pension + Opt-in Healthcare

Well-established UK manufacturer supplying high-quality bricks and building materials requires Area Sales Manager. We are looking for a commercially driven Area Sales Manager to support and grow sales into regional house builders, groundworkers and merchants.

What you will do

Take ownership of defined UK territory (East Anglia).

Manage existing accounts while developing new business with builders, merchants, groundworkers and regional house builders.

Plan and execute territory sales journeys - using CRM (Salesforce) to prepare for client meetings, document visits, track pipeline, and follow up.

Build and maintain strong relationships with clients.

Travel regularly within territory (14-15 days/month on the road; plus additional time for prospecting, admin, and pipeline management).

Work collaboratively with internal teams to ensure delivery, supply, and client satisfaction.

What we are looking for

You are a motivated, resilient sales professional with a demonstrated ability to succeed in sales and manage a territory. Experience selling into house builders is very much preferred but other comparable experience will be considered. B2B experience preferred but strong B2C experience also accepted.

Essential

At least 1-2 years experience selling directly into house builders (or similar construction / building sector clients) at Commercial / Head Office level.

1-2 years experience in territory / area management, journey planning, account management, and closing deals.

Strong CRM discipline (ideally Salesforce) – used habitually before, during and after client meetings for planning and pipeline documentation.

Strong people-skills, resilience, and a target-driven, results‑oriented approach.

We dont require prior brick/masonry product experience, or deep industry knowledge - product training will be given in‑house.

Why join us

Work with a company on an upward trajectory.

Own and grow your own territory with real autonomy and clear commercial opportunity.

Competitive base salary, performance‑based bonus, company car (or allowance), pension and opt‑in healthcare benefits.

Environmentally conscious employer: hybrid / EV vehicles & charging points at all factories / offices.

Clear and transparent path to grow with a business prioritising long‑term relationships, planning, and controlled growth.
