Job description

Are you confident, ambitious, and the kind of person who can win people over with your charm? We're looking for graduates who aren't afraid of hard graft and want to learn business by doing it, not reading about it.

This isn't your standard grad scheme. There's no slow-moving hierarchy or endless team meetings. This is a real opportunity to earn good money, learn how to run a business from the ground up, and take control of your future.

What's the Job?

You'll be joining the UK's biggest supplier of electrical products to business and trade customers. That means you'll be mixing it with electricians, construction companies, local government authorities, housing developers and hotels - real people and businesses with real buying power. You'll learn how to spot opportunities, build relationships, and close deals. Think fast-paced, hands-on, and no two days the same.

What's in it for You?

• Money - Earn while you learn - £33,000 starting salary with bonuses and incentives from day one.
• Autonomy - Once you're up to speed, you're trusted to make it happen. No micro-managing.
• Progression - This is a launchpad. Past grads are now running branches, managing teams, and earning big bonuses.
• A Company Car - Not a bad look when you progress to getting out and meeting clients.

The First 12 Months:

• Get stuck into all areas of the business - warehouse, trade counter, sales office, the lot.
• Learn how the business operates, the products, and the customers.
• Talk to clients face-to-face, build rapport, spot what they need before they even ask.
• Hit the phones, manage accounts, grow your customer base.

What We're Looking For:

• You're hungry for success - money, progression, recognition.
• You've got confidence, charm, and want to work in a sociable industry.
• You love the idea of business and sales, but don't fancy being stuck behind a desk all day.
• You're up for a challenge, quick on your feet, and resilient.
• You've got a full UK driving licence and you're ready to get stuck in.
