Leeds
Our Client
This UK-based business has over 40 years of experience supplying the automotive, repair, and maintenance industries. Operating from a purpose-built facility in Leeds, it stocks an extensive range of product lines. With a focus on consumables such as fasteners, electrical components, air-line systems, and clips, the company is ISO 9001 accredited and committed to delivering high-quality, reliable products to a wide network of industry customers.
The Role
This national role will focus on driving both existing customer relationships and new business development, with a 50/50 split across account management and new customer acquisition. Reporting to the Directors, the successful candidate will oversee a team of National Sales Managers and collaborate closely with the Sales Office Manager. They will be instrumental in achieving commercial targets, expanding market share, and ensuring exceptional customer service delivery.
The ideal candidate will be a dynamic, self-motivated sales leader with a strong grasp of the MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) market. They will be confident in managing teams, developing sales strategies, and building long-term customer relationships across multi-site accounts. A natural communicator, they will bring energy and discipline to the role, with the ability to influence at all levels and a passion for customer-centric selling.
Candidates must demonstrate a solid track record in field-based sales and business development, ideally within the automotive or industrial consumables sectors. Strong commercial acumen, people management experience, and the ability to drive performance are essential. Proficiency in CRM systems, excellent interpersonal skills, and a professional approach to sales are key requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity in an established, reliable and customer-orientated business. Interested parties should apply accordingly or contact John Pease in the first instance for a confidential conversation. Contact details can be found via the Newman Stewart website.
