We’re looking for a Sales Person to join the team at our Stornoway 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.

What you’ll bring:

We celebrate individuality and know that your skills and personality matter just as much as your experience. If you have a passion for customer service and an interest in building materials, we’ll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

What’s in it for you:

We believe great work should be recognised and rewarded. Here’s what you can expect:

• 23 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays (31 days per year)
• Company bonus scheme, based on performance
• Contributory pension and life assurance
• Discounts on high street retailers, supermarkets, restaurants, gyms and cinemas
• Colleague discount across our group brands
• Attraction and travel discounts
• Training and development programmes to support your growth

We offer on-the-job training and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications, including apprenticeships.
