Business Development Manager – Electrical Distribution (M&E)
Midlands to London | Remote / Field-Based
£60,000 – £80,000 Basic + Up to 25% Bonus
Running a branch… but wondering if there’s a better way?
* Opening early, closing late… every day
* Managing people, problems, and pressure—not just sales
* Constant internal KPIs, targets, and firefighting
* Spending more time on operations than actually growing business
If that sounds familiar—and you’re a Branch Manager or Profit Centre Manager—this role is a genuine step forward.
A different way of working
This is your opportunity to move into a purely commercial, relationship-led role—keeping everything you enjoy about the industry, without the operational burden.
You’ll join a major, multi-billion-pound electrical distributor with the scale, credibility, and infrastructure to support you—while giving you the freedom to win business your way.
What makes this role different
* No branch responsibility – no staffing, no day-to-day ops
* No internal noise – focus on customers, not internal KPIs
* Remote-first working with field-based client engagement
* Backed by a major brand, but with real autonomy
The role
A true Business Development position focused on M&E contractors across the Midlands to London.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Winning new business and developing key contractor accounts
* Building and leveraging your existing network
* Identifying and securing project opportunities
* Creating and managing a strong sales pipeline
* Driving revenue growth with full internal support behind you
Who this is perfect for
You’re currently in:
* Branch Manager / Profit Centre Manager role
* Or a senior sales position within electrical wholesale
…and you’re ready for:
* More freedom and control of your time
* Better work-life balance
* A role focused on growth, not internal management
* Earnings that reflect the business you generate
What you’ll need
* Background in electrical wholesale / distribution
* Strong relationships within M&E contractors
* Proven track record of winning and growing business
* Commercial awareness (margin, pricing, negotiation)
* Self-motivation and ability to manage your own territory
What’s on offer
* £60,000 – £80,000 basic salary
* Up to 25% bonus
* Fully remote / field-based role
* Support from a well-resourced internal team
* The backing of a financially strong, established organisation
* Real autonomy without losing structure and support
The bottom line
This is a move away from running a branch…
and into a role where you:
✔ Focus purely on winning and growing business
✔ Take control of your time and territory
✔ Get properly rewarded for your results
