We are a UK-based manufacturer supplying specialist industrial materials and solutions to sectors including manufacturing, fabrication, energy, and heavy industry. Our products solve real-world problems — heat, abrasion, fire protection — and are used by customers across the UK and Europe. We are growing and looking for a practical, people-focused salesperson to help drive that growth.
The Role
This is a field-based role covering a large UK territory (roughly Lincolnshire across to South Wales).
You will spend around 3 days per week on the road, with the remaining time split between home and our Elland office. Regular UK travel is required, including overnight stays.
This is not a desk-based role.
You will be calling into workshops, fabrication shops and trade counters, as well as meeting engineers, buyers and Managing Directors. Some days will be quick, informal visits. Others will be more structured meetings. You need to be comfortable doing both.
What You Will Be Doing
* Building new business through proactive visits and outreach
* Managing and growing existing customer accounts
* Following up website and internal enquiries
* Identifying opportunities to get products specified into projects
* Building relationships at all levels, from shop floor to senior management
* Planning and managing your own territory
What We Are Looking For
* Confident, personable and easy to talk to
* Happy to walk into a business and start a conversation
* Comfortable with rejection and able to keep going
* Persistent, but in a natural and likeable way (not pushy)
* Able to build rapport with anyone, from welders to directors
* Self-motivated and organised
* If you do not enjoy face-to-face selling or knocking on doors, this role is not for you.
* Experience in field sales or customer-facing roles
* A track record of building relationships and winning business
* Experience managing your own territory
* Industry experience is not essential but preferred — we can teach you the products. Sales attitude and personality matter more.
What You Will Get
* Salary based on experience
* Bonus linked to growth and performance
* Company car
* A stable, growing business with long-term opportunity
* Support from a knowledgeable and down-to-earth team
The Reality of the Role
This role suits someone who enjoys being out on the road, meeting people and building relationships, and does not mind hearing “no” and carrying on. It suits someone who wants a role where effort directly impacts results.
It will not suit someone who prefers to stay behind a desk, wait for leads to come in, or avoid face-to-face interaction.
