  • Previous experience within merchanting would be great, but if you’re new to our industry we’ll ensure you get what you need to excel in the role. 
  • Customers are at the heart of this role so ideally you’ll be used to building strong relationships with multiple customers and internal stakeholders, perhaps in a previous field-based role. 
  • You’ll be visiting customers, project sites and branches every day - there’s nothing more important than your safety whilst being out on the road so there’s one thing that you definitely need and that’s a full UK driving license with over a year’s driving experience.

  • You will be self driven to maximise and achieve sales and profit targets from your allocated existing customers and for new business that you seek out
  • Always looking for opportunities to improve relationships to develop profitable sales.
  • Our success is built on strong relationships with our colleagues, suppliers and customers so it’s essential you build strong relationships quickly.  
  • You will also be a key part of a wider network team, growing the sales success of the branches on your patch using your expertise to support them in winning in their local area.
  • Working with your Regional Sales Manager, you’ll identify your development needs and build a plan to make sure you're on top of your game and achieving the best you can.
