  • Group wide colleague discounts across the Travis Perkins Group including Toolstation.  
  • Great onboarding and recognised qualification opportunities including Apprenticeship programs, if you choose.
What you’ll be doing
No two days are the same within an Area Sales Rep role, but here are some of the key accountabilities you will be involved in:

  • Identify new sales opportunities and introducing new products and creating solutions for your customer ledger to deliver long term profitable sales growth for both parties
  • Developing new customer accounts and building long terms relationships
  • Reporting into our Regional Sales Manager, you will also support our Regional Director and our branches within the Plymouth area

  • 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.
