Overview
London, Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex
We’re recruiting for an Area Sales Manager to join a well-established manufacturer with strong UK presence and European backing. The role covers a live, well-performing territory and offers the chance to build strong relationships with both independent and national Plumbing & Heating merchants.
You’ll be selling a respected product portfolio through buying groups (PHG, NBG, IPG) and nationals (Wolseley, UKPS, City Plumbing), managing in-branch relationships, supporting promotions, delivering training, and helping merchants drive sell-through.
This is a great opportunity for someone currently in a branch-based or internal merchant role looking to take their first step into field sales.

Qualifications
We’re looking for someone with:
* Experience within a Plumbing & Heating merchant or bathroom showroom
* Strong relationship-building skills and commercial awareness
* Ambition to step into a field-based sales role
* Full UK driving licence
Recent hires into the team have come from assistant branch manager and internal sales roles – this is a genuine career opportunity to develop into external sales with the right support and structure in place.
