Drive Growth. Build Partnerships. Own Your Success.

At Savaria UK, with well-known brands such as Handicare in our portfolio, we're looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Business Development Manager to take ownership of a key territory across the East of England while leading the development of our presence throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Covering the postcode areas LE, NN, PE, B, SG, DE, NG, S, DN, LN, NR and IP, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys creating opportunities, building long-term partnerships, and seeing the direct impact of their work.

Why Join Savaria UK?

This is more than a traditional sales role. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own territory, plan your own schedule, and develop relationships that drive real business growth.

You'll be responsible for identifying and converting new business opportunities while strengthening existing partnerships with trade customers and dealerships across your region.

Alongside an established territory, you'll have the exciting opportunity to help shape and expand our presence in Northern Ireland and Ireland, creating new routes to market and building a strong foundation for future growth.

What You'll Be Doing

• Developing and growing relationships with trade partners and dealerships across your territory.
• Identifying, converting and managing new business opportunities.
• Delivering sales, revenue and margin targets.
• Working closely with business owners, decision-makers and purchasing teams.
• Managing opportunities from initial contact through to successful implementation.
• Executing territory growth plans to increase market share.
• Building strong, dependable customer partnerships and becoming a trusted advisor.
• Acting as the product expert for Handicare solutions within your customer base.
• Monitoring competitor activity, market trends and customer needs.
• Producing accurate sales forecasts and activity reports.
• Collaborating with internal sales, product and support teams to maximise opportunities.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a motivated sales professional who enjoys working independently and thrives on developing customer relationships.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven success in a Business Development, Territory Sales or Account Management role.
• Strong B2B sales experience.
• Experience selling through trade channels, dealership networks or distribution partners.
• Knowledge of the Stairlift, Through Floor Lift, Inclined Platform Lift or Steplift markets.
• Excellent relationship-building, negotiation and influencing skills.
• Strong commercial awareness and a proactive approach to winning business.
• The ability to manage your own diary, priorities and territory effectively.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office applications.
• A desire to exceed targets and contribute to the continued growth of the business.

Experience within mobility, accessibility, healthcare, construction products, home improvement, medical devices, or a related B2B environment would be advantageous, although we welcome applications from talented sales professionals from a variety of sectors

What's on Offer?

• £55,000 - £65,000 basic salary
• £20,000 annual OTE, with commission paid quarterly
• The autonomy to run your territory your way
• A high-impact role with significant growth potential
• The opportunity to develop new markets across Northern Ireland and Ireland
