Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 basic + up to 25% bonus
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Running a Branch… But Ready to Step Away from the Pressure?

• Tired of opening the branch early and closing it late?
• Constantly dealing with staff issues, targets, and internal KPIs?
• Spending more time on operations than actually driving sales?
• Feel like your earning potential doesn't reflect your experience?

If you're a Branch Manager or Profit Centre Manager, this is your opportunity to step into a role that keeps the commercial side you enjoy-without the day-to-day headaches.

Why This Role?

Join a multi-billion-pound electrical distributor with the backing, infrastructure, and reputation to compete at the highest level-without being restricted in how you win business.

This role offers:

• Work-from-home flexibility with field-based customer engagement
• The ability to focus purely on sales and relationship building
• No branch responsibility - no staffing, no daily ops, no firefighting
• The credibility of a major, established brand behind you

The Opportunity

A true business development role combining new business and account management across M&E contractors in the Midlands to London region.

You'll be:

• Winning new contractor business and developing key accounts
• Leveraging your existing network and industry knowledge
• Identifying and securing project opportunities
• Building a strong pipeline and driving revenue growth
• Working with a well-resourced internal team that supports delivery

Who This Suits

This role is ideal for someone currently in:

• Branch Manager / Profit Centre Manager role
• Senior sales within an electrical wholesaler

…who wants:

• More freedom and autonomy
• Better work-life balance
• Higher earning potential tied to performance
• To step away from operations and refocus on growth

What You'll Need

• Background in electrical wholesale / distribution
• Strong relationships within M&E contractors
• Proven ability to win and grow business
• Strong commercial awareness (pricing, margin, negotiation)
• Self-motivation and ability to manage your own territory

What You'll Get

• £60,000 - £80,000 basic salary
• Up to 25% bonus
• Remote / field-based working
• Backing of a major, financially strong organisation
• Autonomy without losing the support of a large business
• A role focused on growth, not internal admin

You lose the branch pressure
And you finally get rewarded for the business you generate
