Our highly regarded client has a network of branches across the UK who supply a vast range of building products to the construction sector.

This role involves selling quality building products to businesses both large and small. This a well-respected and highly successful business.

This Business Development / External Sales representative / Area Sales Manager position requires someone who has experience selling into the construction industry.

We are looking for someone with a strong sales drive and the ability to build long lasting relationships with customers and colleagues alike.
