Business Development Manager (Wholesale / Construction Products)
£40,000 - £50,000 + Company Car + Benefits
Hybrid Field-Based Across Midlands, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle & Surrounding Areas

Are you a natural relationship builder with a strong commercial instinct and a hunger to win new business?

This is an exciting confidential opportunity for a driven and personable Business Development Manager to join a growing organisation with ambitious expansion plans. If you thrive on getting out in front of clients, spotting opportunities, and turning conversations into long-term partnerships then this role is built for you.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a typical sales role. You'll play a key part in shaping regional growth, building a strong pipeline of new business, and developing existing accounts across the wholesale and construction supply sector.

The role is client-facing and field-based, involving regular travel to visit customers across the Midlands, Leeds, Manchester, and Newcastle. You can be based anywhere within or between these areas, as long as you're happy to travel and enjoy being on the road.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building and developing strong relationships with clients and customers through regular face-to-face meetings
• Identifying and securing new business opportunities across your region
• Growing existing accounts by introducing new and complementary product ranges
• Spending time on the road visiting clients, alongside dedicated time planning strategy, generating leads, and booking meetings
• Collaborating with internal teams to maximise opportunities and deliver excellent service
• Contributing to the wider sales strategy and supporting future team growth

Requirements

• A confident, energetic, and "sales-driven" individual - someone who enjoys being out meeting people and building rapport
• Proven ability to win new business and grow existing relationships
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with strong commercial awareness
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Willingness to travel regularly across the North - from Midlands and up to Newcastle.

Benefits

• £35,000 - £50,000 salary
• Company car, laptop, and phone
• Hybrid working with flexibility and autonomy
• All travel expenses covered, including hotels where required
• 20 days holiday + 8 and Christmas shutdown (without using annual leave) - 1 additional day each year
• Genuine progression opportunities as the business continues to grow

This is a role for someone who wants more than just a job - it's an opportunity to build something, make an impact, and grow with the business.

If you're commercially sharp, relationship-focused, and ready for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
