Permanent

This is the kind of opening that does not come along often. A material handling business with serious momentum is opening up new territory across the UK, and they want someone to take the lead rather than inherit a finished patch. If you have ever wanted to build something and call it your own, this is your chance.

The opportunity

You will take ownership of a region and treat it like your own business. New customers, lapsed accounts, live tenders, the lot. Because the company is expanding, you are not squeezing into a mature territory with no room to move. You are shaping one. Where you focus first, which sectors you chase and how you build your pipeline is yours to decide.

Forklifts and materials handling equipment are the obvious starting point, but the real win is becoming the name buyers think of when they need to move, lift or store anything. You will sell capital equipment, fleet deals and the service that wraps around them.

What your week looks like

Plenty of time in front of customers, on site, walking the warehouse floor and understanding how they actually run. Quoting, negotiating and closing. Working alongside a service and aftermarket team who keep customers loyal long after the first deal lands.

No two weeks are identical, and that is exactly the point.

This role is for you if

  • You have sold capital equipment, materials handling kit or something with a considered, consultative sales cycle.
  • You are happiest with a patch to own rather than a script to follow.
  • You can read a warehouse, talk to an operations director and a buyer with equal confidence.
  • You want your earnings to track the results you deliver.

What is on offer

  • A genuinely open territory created by expansion, not a tidy-up of someone else's accounts.
  • Competitive basic with uncapped earning potential tied to your performance.
  • Company vehicle or allowance and the tools to do the job properly.
  • A business investing in growth, with the service backbone to support what you sell.
