COMMUTABLE LOCATIONS: West London, Slough, Uxbridge, Ealing, Camberley, Woking, Epsom, Hayes, Wembley, Beaconsfield WE HAVE A GREAT STORY TO TELL! We have built an enviable reputation delivering bespoke fireplace solutions into some of the most impressive residential and commercial properties in the UK. Our projects range from luxury private homes through to hospitality and prestigious commercial environments.

Not somebody who waits, somebody who gets involved. THE OPPORTUNITY : Business Development Manager, Sales & Account Manager, Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products Most people would describe this as a sales role. They're wrong! Yes, there is sales involved. But if you're purely a salesperson waiting for enquiries to arrive and customers to walk through the door, this probably isn't for you. Because the reality is very different. This is a role built around projects, relationships, commercial awareness and ownership. One day you could be in the showroom discussing a luxury residential project worth £75,000. The next you're meeting an architect, contractor or developer to understand what they're working on and where you can add value. This is about becoming part of the project long before an order is placed, and that means understanding people, drawings, specifications, time lines, budgets and construction projects not just products.

You'll manage opportunities from first enquiry through to project award, working with multiple stakeholders to ensure projects move forward commercially and successfully. This isn't transactional selling, it's consultative, it's project-led and ultimately, it's about helping clients deliver exceptional spaces. The purpose of the role is simple: Identify, develop and convert project opportunities, Manage project enquiries from first contact through to order confirmation. Build relationships with architects, interior designers, contractors and developers. Own projects from initial enquiry through to order. Work closely with operational and installation teams to ensure successful delivery. Help grow the Special Projects side of the business. REQUIREMENTS: Business Development Manager, Sales & Account Manager, Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products You do not need specific product experience, if you are operating in construction, interiors, fit-out, residential projects or design-led environments it would be an advantage as you will have exposure to architects, contractors, developers and project stakeholders, along with the ability to understand drawings, specifications and project information. You will also have; Strong commercial awareness and excellent communication skills. A proactive mindset and the confidence to create opportunities rather than waiting for them. Experience in managing complex projects. Comfort in understanding technical detail. Experience of communicating with different stakeholders. You will most likely be one of the following; Business Development Manager, Contracts Manager, Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor, Estimator, Specification Sales Manager, Installation Manager, Account Manager, Key Account Manager, Technical Sales Manager, Technical Sales Consultant, Design & Build Professional or a High-End Interiors Sales Consultant THE COMPANY: You ll be joining a well-established, specialist business operating within a premium segment, working on projects that genuinely stand out.
