Branch Manager - Windows & Doors Installations

Step Off the Tools - Lead the Teams - Shape the Future.

Have you spent years fitting windows and doors or working as a joiner, but now feel it's time to get off the tools and take the next step in your career?

We're looking for a Branch Manager to run our busy installations branch in Aylesford, which we are proud to say is our flagship branch servicing some of the UK's largest insurance companies, with over 40 years of proven success.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone with hands-on fitting or trade experience who wants to move into a management role, leading installation teams, keeping operations smooth, and ensuring everything runs to the highest standard.

Why This Role?

• No more heavy lifting or working on-site every day
• Use your knowledge of windows, doors, and joinery to lead and support fitting teams
• Be the "go-to" problem solver, organiser, and quality controller
• Secure long-term career stability with clear progression opportunities

What You'll Do

• Manage and support multiple installation teams
• Ensure jobs are completed right the first time, with quality and efficiency
• Organise stock, deliveries, and depot housekeeping
• Deal directly with customers to arrange remedials and resolve any issues
• Keep vans and teams fully equipped and compliant
• Be hands-on in problem-solving without being on the tools full-time

What We're Looking For

• Ideally: background in fitting windows/doors or joinery (you'll understand the trade)
• Leadership ability - whether you've supervised teams or mentored apprentices before
• Organised, detail-focused, and proactive
• Someone who thrives on problem-solving and keeping things running smoothly

What's In It For You

• Salary up to £44,200 per year (£850/week)
• Monthly bonus (average £140)
• 28 days holiday (inc. bank holidays)
• Company pension scheme
• Mileage allowance (where applicable)
• Full training and ongoing career development
• Job stability with a respected, long-established business

If you're ready to swap the tools for a leadership role without losing the buzz of the trade, this could be your perfect next step.
