The Role
Due to our exciting growth and expansion strategy, we're creating a new Assistant Branch Manager position within our Swindon team.
This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll support the Branch Manager and wider team with the day-to-day running of our busy branch, working across operations, sales, and customer service.
Your main responsibilities will include:
* Supporting the sales team with customer enquiries and quotations
* Assisting with supplier sourcing and purchasing activities
* Helping in the warehouse when required to ensure smooth operations and deliveries
* Identifying opportunities to build business and strengthen customer relationships
* Providing general branch support as needed to keep operations running efficiently
This is an excellent opportunity to gain broad business experience and develop towards a senior role as the company continues to grow.
The Person
We're looking for a proactive, adaptable person who enjoys variety and takes pride in providing great service.
You'll bring:
* A genuine willingness to learn and get involved in all areas of the business
* Strong teamwork and communication skills
* A "can-do" attitude and drive to deliver excellent customer experiences
* Ideally, some experience in trade, engineering, manufacturing, or distribution — but enthusiasm and attitude matter most
With our support and your ambition, you'll have every opportunity to grow your skills, gain qualifications, and build a rewarding career in a supportive, friendly team.
