We're looking for a Sales Person to join the team at our Leeds - Headingley branch. Our sales people thrive on great conversations, building lasting relationships, and driving branch success.

What you'll be doing:

• Building connections - with customers in person, over the phone, and in the branch or yard, providing expert advice
• Creating tailored solutions - preparing quotes, following up on enquiries, and developing leads
• Keeping things running smoothly - managing essential admin efficiently
• Offering guidance - with up-to-date product knowledge to help customers find the best materials
• Enhancing the shopping experience - maintaining well-stocked, inviting displays
• Collaborating - across the branch with your colleagues, including yard and counter sales, to support the team

We're happy to explore flexible working options. Feel free to chat with us about it during the interview. While we might not be able to meet every request, we'll always listen with an open mind-and there's no judgment in asking.

We celebrate individuality and know your personality and strengths matter just as much as your experience. You'll bring some previous customer service experience, and while sales experience or knowledge of building materials would be a bonus, it isn't essential. If you enjoy helping customers, have an interest in building materials and are keen to learn, we'll give you all the training and support you need to grow and succeed in the role.

The right person will also bring strong time keeping, natural organisation and clear communication skills. You'll listen well, show genuine enthusiasm and maintain sharp attention to detail. Driven, passionate and customer focused, you'll adapt your approach to suit each individual and deliver a positive, personalised experience every time.
