Vacancy Title Business Development Manager

Location London, South East & South West England

Own a territory that's already trading. Take the lead across London, the South East and the South West - with established customers and sales from day one.

A well-established supplier of premium fixings to the professional trade is growing its national field sales team. This is a genuine chance to own a territory, make your mark and grow with a business that is investing in its future.

WHY THIS ROLE?

• No cold start - you inherit existing customers and live sales from day one
• Real ownership - your territory, your plan, your results
• A product you can believe in - a quality-led range with a strong reputation in the trade
• Proper backing - an experienced internal team supporting you and your customers

WHAT YOU'LL BE SELLING

Premium woodscrews, fixings and power-tool accessories built for the professional trade - plus an expanding range of accessories and fixing solutions. It's a quality sell, where performance and reliability win the business and your product knowledge makes you a trusted partner to your customers.

YOUR PATCH

London, the Home Counties, South East England, the South Coast and South West England - including Greater London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

Field-based with regular customer visits, so you'll need to be based with practical access to the territory.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Grow an established portfolio of trade and merchant accounts
• Win new business and build a healthy pipeline across the territory
• Build strong relationships with key decision-makers, face to face
• Introduce new products and ranges to increase spend in existing accounts
• Quote, negotiate and close commercial opportunities
• Plan and run your own diary and territory
• Deliver against agreed sales targets

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Experience in Business Development, Area Sales, Territory Sales or Account Management
• A track record selling into builders', timber or independent merchants, distributors or the professional trade
• The ability to grow existing accounts and hunt new business
• Strong relationship-building, communication and negotiation skills
• Self-motivation and organization - comfortable working independently in the field
• A full UK driving licence

Experience with fixings, fasteners, power-tool accessories or building products is a plus, but not essential. If you're a strong B2B trade sales professional with the right attitude, we want to hear from you.

THE PACKAGE

• Competitive salary
• Company car and fuel card
• Structured performance-related bonus
• 25 days' annual holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Established customer portfolio from day one
• Real scope to grow your territory - and your career
