Key Account Manager

Our client were established in the late 80's manufacturing a range of joinery products such as Mouldings, Stair Parts, Wall panels and ancillary items and are recognised as a market leader in their field. They operate from an 81,000 sq ft site having outgrown their previous factory and offices. Over the last 5 years, they have started supplying many retail giants as well as independent and national builders merchants throughout the UK. They are now looking to build on the success story and recruit a southern based Key Accounts Manager to maintain existing accounts but also seek out and develop new business in a proactive manner. The area broadly runs from Oxfordshire across to the East coast and includes southwards so this person will be structured in terms of territory planning and also used to covering a large region. The company also recognise the need to update their product range regularly to keep things fresh and innovative as well as keeping ahead of the competition. Ideally you will have a background in timber and joinery products and have sold into merchants and stockists before. A full structured induction programme will be in place for the right person as well. If you are currently in a field sales role with a merchant and want that opportunity to join a manufacturer, then it would be well worth applying too
