Area Sales Manager

New Today

This isn t a suit-and-tie sales position, it s about rolling up your sleeves and building something from the ground up an opportunity to help grow and establish the UK arm of a global business.

As an Area Sales Manager, you ll work with quality products, receive full support from the MD, and enjoy the buzz of building something with a start-up feel. You ll inherit a strong client base to nurture and grow, while also winning new customers across the UK

Why This Role Stands Out

Freedom & trust: You ll be given the autonomy to develop business in your own way no micromanagement, just realistic targets and proper support.

Supportive leadership: You ll work with a down-to-earth MD who values your input, backs your ideas, and genuinely supports the team.
Quality products: You ll be selling top-tier fittings, couplings, and valves into the construction, agricultural, and builders merchant sectors nationwide.
Room to grow: As the business expands, there s potential to build a sales team and progress into a Sales Director role.

You ll join a small business, with a huge potential, working hand-in-hand with the UK MD with the purpose of growing sales across the business.
You ll be selling a range of products including fittings, couplings, and valves used in construction and agriculture to builders merchants (both national and independent) and specialist distributors (agri and drainage) across the UK. Your week will be a mix of:

Visiting new prospects and existing clients nationwide.
Managing and growing current accounts through strong relationships.
Driving new business to expand the UK footprint.

You ll be on the road with weekly overnight stays, so flexibility and a positive approach to travel are a must

A proactive, new-business mindset this isn t just about maintaining accounts.
Comfortable working in a small business environment proactive, self-motivated, and able to take ownership of your role.
