Assistant Branch Manager – Stowmarket
We’re the UK’s largest builders’ merchant, but our Stowmarket branch feels like a tight-knit local business. If you’ve got a background in the trade and know the Stowmarket area, we want to talk to you.
The Day-to-Day:
You’ll be the right-hand person to the Branch Manager, helping lead a solid team of 11. Between our two delivery vehicles and the Tool Hire side of the business, there’s always a lot moving.
1. Lead the floor: Keep the team motivated and make sure the service at the counter is spot on.
2. Grow the business: You’ll be key to spotting new sales leads and keeping our regulars happy.
3. Keep it running: From stock accuracy to health and safety, you’ll make sure the branch is sharp, safe, and organised.
What we’re looking for:
We aren't hung up on whether you’ve been an Assistant Branch Manager before. If you’ve got the experience in a builders' merchant and you know how to sell, that’s what matters most to us.
4. Trade Knowledge: You know your timber from your lintels and understand how a merchant works.
5. Local Connection: It’s a big plus if you know the local area and the tradespeople working in it.
6. The Right Attitude: We want someone keen, hungry to prove themselves, and ready to take the next step in their career.
What’s in it for you?
7. A decent balance: Mon–Fri (7:30 am - 5:00 pm) with only two Saturday mornings (8am - 12pm) every four weeks.
8. The Package: Competitive pay, bonus, pension, and private medical.
9. The Perks: 20% off at Toolstation and big discounts across the whole Travis Perkins Group.
10. Career Growth: We’re massive on internal promotion. If you prove yourself here, there are plenty of places to go.
