My client is a well-established manufacturer of lighting and many other electrical solutions, turning over more than £500m per year and currently has over 2,000 employees worldwide. The UK division has almost 30 staff and have plans to grow their revenue by another £10m in 2024. In order to achieve these goals, the company are now looking to add another regional sales manager to their team, covering the Scottish and very Northern England areas.

You will be targeting both independent and national electrical wholesalers in the region, as well as electrical contractors. You will be a natural relationship builder and have the persistence and tenacity to win orders as well as longer-term projects. The company is not looking for a door-to-door sales person, but someone who can sell consultatively and represent the company in a professional manner at all times, winning business through building trust and being able to demonstrate value.

You will ideally come from an electrical sales or lighting background and have some sort of proven track record in achieving targets, whether this is from internal sales or out in the field, but other backgrounds and experience will also be considered. All training and support will be provided and there is some flexibility in terms of working from home and in the office. Targets will be kept realistic and achievable with an understanding that it can take several months to build a pipeline of business.

This will be a challenging sales role requiring someone with a strong work ethic as well as efficient organisational skills. In return you will be rewarded with a competitive basic salary and generous package, including car allowance and a lucrative bonus scheme and pension. In terms of future career progression, the company is huge and there will inevitably be opportunities to develop over time.
