With a strong product offering and an ambitious growth strategy, this is an exciting opportunity to make your mark across the North West.

* A proven track record of winning new business
* Confidence in building relationships with trade and commercial customers
* Strong territory planning and organisational skills
* A proactive and self‑motivated approach
* A full UK driving licence
Experience within building materials, builders merchants, home improvement, KBB, construction supplies or trade sales would be advantageous, but we’re equally interested in speaking with ambitious salespeople who enjoy developing new opportunities.
Benefits
