The Opportunity
* Are you an experienced Sales Manager or Sales Director ready to take full control of a business?
* This is a rare opportunity to step into a General Manager position running a long-established and successful trade business with 25 staff, a turnover of £10m, and the investment needed to double in size over the next five years.
* You don't need to have run a full P&L before — you'll get the support and guidance to grow into the role. But you must be ready to lead, take ownership, and drive performance across sales, operations, and strategy.
What You'll Be Doing:
* Take full accountability for the day-to-day running of a well-respected trade business
* Lead a team of 25 across sales, ops, and support
* Develop and deliver the commercial strategy to protect margin and drive growth
* Deepen relationships with existing customers and open new market opportunities
* Shape team culture and lead from the front
* Collaborate with group-level stakeholders to refine long-term plans
Why This Business?
* Well-established: profitable and respected in its sector, with loyal customers
* Recently invested in: the infrastructure is now in place for serious growth
* Growth-ready: realistic plans to grow from £10m to £20m turnover in the next 5 years
* Supportive owners: get mentorship and financial support to succeed in the GM role
Who We're Looking For:
* You might be a Sales Manager, Sales Director, Regional Manager, or Commercial Leader who's ready for more.
* You'll need to show:
* Strong B2B sales leadership experience
* A proven track record of developing people and hitting commercial targets
* High levels of ownership and ambition — you're not just looking for another sales job
* Comfortable making decisions and leading from the front
* Eagerness to grow into full P&L responsibility (with training and support provided)
* We're open to candidates from construction, trade, industrial, manufacturing, or B2B distribution backgrounds.
The Package:
* £80,000 basic salary
* £40,000 bonus based on business performance
* Full autonomy with the backing of experienced senior leaders
* Long-term opportunity to shape and grow a business under your leadership
How to Apply:
This is your chance to step out of sales and run the whole business.
