Are you looking for the next step in your career? Are you an effective communicator with a strong customer service background? We are currently looking for an Assistant Branch Manager to join our team.

What you’ll do
You’ll support the Branch Manager with the day to day running of the branch. Learning all processes, you will be confident in coaching your team and managing the branch in the absence of the manager to ensure that all targets are met.

Organisation is key in this role - with a hands-on approach, you’ll be happy to get involved with all aspects of the branch whether that’s supporting with CAD designs or deliveries in our warehouse, or just making sure that we are providing the best service possible for our customers.

We are a trade focused business, so a large part of your day will involve working directly with the customers and creating a personalised experience. Alongside your team, you’ll be creating and maintaining relationships with local tradesmen, meaning it’ll be easier to increase profits and maximise sales.

Is this you?
You will either have experience of managing a team or have a strong customer service background with a desire to take the next step in your career. Whatever your background, we’ll support your development and offer you the opportunity to make the role your own. You don’t need industry experience we just want people that are passionate about joining our business! 

What’s in it for you?
At Benchmarx, we have strong family values and believe in getting the right work/life balance, meaning you’ll only work during the week and 4 hours every other Saturday. We make sure that hard work is rewarded and as an inclusive, family environment we want every team member to be recognised for the work they do. 

We’ll also equip you with a benefits package that grows as you grow with the company:
  • Quarterly bonus 
  • Save-as-you-earn scheme
  • Buy-as-you-earn scheme
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Colleague discount across a variety of Group businesses including; 20% off at Wickes and 30% off at Tile Giant, plus special discounts across our Trade Merchanting businesses
A bit about us
In case you don’t know much about Benchmarx, we were established in 2006 and already have over 180 branches in the UK. We are a rapidly growing, fresh-thinking business that’s a major supplier to the UK’s building and construction market. As part of the Travis Perkins Group, we have been recognised as one of Britain’s Top Employers since 2010, putting our employees and our loyal customer base at the heart of everything we do.
