Own a territory that’s already trading. Take the lead across North West England and Wales – 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

North West England, North Wales and Wales – including Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire, Cheshire, North Wales, Mid Wales and South Wales.

Postcode areas: BB, BL, CF, CH, CW, FY, L, LD, LL, M, NP, OL, PR, SA, SY, WA and WN.

Field‑based with regular customer visits, so you’ll ideally live within or close 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

• 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 organisation – 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
