Are you an experienced industrial sales or distribution professional looking for the opportunity to build and lead a business of your own?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a leading national industrial electrical distributor as it launches a new operation in Sheffield.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop the local customer base, establish strong commercial relationships and grow the business from the ground up, while benefiting from the infrastructure, resources and buying power of a major national group.

About the Business

The company is an established national distributor supplying industrial customers with electrical, automation and related products. Its local management teams are trusted to understand their markets, develop customer relationships and make commercial decisions that drive profitable growth.

You may already be an experienced Branch Manager or Business Manager, or you could be a successful External Sales, Key Account or senior commercial professional ready to take the next step.

Experience within industrial electrical distribution, electrical wholesale, mechanical distribution, MRO, automation or a closely related industrial market would be highly relevant.

Most importantly, you’ll have a strong commercial track record, good knowledge of your local market and the drive to build and grow a successful business.
