Business Development Manager – Industrial
£45 - 50,000 basic + £12,000 bonus + Company Car + Benefits
Regional territory | Field-based / Hybrid
Are you a structured, hunter-minded Business Development Manager who enjoys opening doors, building credibility and winning new business — while working as part of a high-performing, values-led team?
This is an opportunity to join a global, market-leading OEM supplying engineered solutions to some of the UK’s most recognisable Logistics / 3PL, Industrial and Construction organisations. The business is undergoing a significant transformation in the UK, investing in people who are proactive, organised and open to change.
The environment will suit someone who is humble, passionate and resilient — a salesperson who does things properly and wants to build something long-term.
The Opportunity
You’ll focus primarily on new business development, supported by a small number of existing strategic accounts, with a clear mandate to bring new customers on board and develop multi-site, blue-chip relationships.
Customers operate across complex, operationally critical environments where value, safety and reliability matter — making this a role for a salesperson who can sell solutions, not products.
Target sectors include:
* Logistics & 3PL
* Industrial Manufacturing
* Construction
The Role
* Proactively identify, target and win new customers across the UK
* Develop relationships with multi-location, blue-chip organisations
* Lead structured discovery and qualification to uncover operational challenges
* Sell engineered solutions on a value-based, consultative basis
* Engage stakeholders from Operations, Logistics and HSE through to Director level
* Work collaboratively with applications, engineering and service teams
* Operate in a changing environment, contributing positively to a growing sales culture
Sales methodology training will be provided — what matters most is your mindset, structure and approach.
What We’re Looking For
* A hunter-profile Business Development Manager
* Experience selling into Logistics / 3PL, Industrial or Construction environments
* Structured, organised and disciplined in your sales approach
* Consultative and credible, able to sell value rather than compete on price
* Humble, resilient and team-oriented — no egos
* Open to change and motivated by building something rather than inheriting it
* Entrepreneurial mindset with strong personal accountability
Why This Role?
* Join a global OEM and recognised market leader
* Sell into a prestigious, blue-chip customer base
* Be part of a UK transformation journey with real investment and support
* Collaborative team culture with autonomy and trust
* Competitive package: £45 - 50,000 basic, £12k bonus, company car and benefits
If you’re a BDM who enjoys the hunt, values structure and wants to work with quality solutions and customers, this role offers a genuine platform to make your mark.
