• Working closely with internal teams to ensure customers receive an excellent experience from enquiry through to delivery.
• Managing your sales pipeline and customer activity to ensure every opportunity is maximised.

This is a role where your personality, commercial mindset and relationship-building skills will be just as important as your sales experience.

• Experience in field sales, account management or business development.
• A background within panelling, decorative products, timber, interiors, building products or a similar sector.

• A proactive, self-motivated approach with the drive to exceed targets.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to spot opportunities others might miss.
• The ability to work independently whilst collaborating with colleagues across the business.

Whether you''ve built your career selling wall panelling, decorative boards, timber products, interior finishes or similar solutions, you''ll understand how important service, trust and long-term relationships are to success.

• Salary of £40,000 with OTE of £50,000-£55,000.
