Business Development Manager

Description:

About Us

Established in 1991, we are a market leader within our industry with a strong reputation built over decades of delivering excellent service and long-term customer relationships. We’re proud of the culture we’ve created — the average employee tenure within our business is over 12 years, which says a lot about the environment, stability, and opportunities we provide. As we enter an exciting new phase of growth, we are investing heavily in building a stronger, more proactive sales engine. This is a key hire for the business and a genuine opportunity for the right person to come in, make an impact, and help shape the next stage of our growth journey.

The Role

We are looking for a driven and energetic Business Development Manager to join our team in a role focused primarily on new business generation, alongside growing existing customer accounts. This is roughly a 70/30 split between winning new customers and developing current accounts. You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities, building relationships, managing inbound enquiries, and converting opportunities into long-term business. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys opening doors, building rapport, and closing deals while working within a supportive and ambitious team environment. Unlike many sales roles, this is not purely a cold-start position. You’ll benefit from inbound leads, established accounts, and a well-respected brand within the market — giving you a strong platform to succeed.

· Be confident winning new business and closing deals

· Have strong relationship-building and communication skills

· Be proactive, commercially aware, and target-driven

· Bring positivity, enthusiasm, and energy to the sales floor

· Be organised and comfortable managing pipelines through CRM systems

· Ideally have experience within construction, tool hire, container sales, or a related industry
