Mezzanines & Warehouse Fit-Out sales recruitment in Preston
Search for mid to senior commercial hires across mezzanines and warehouse fit-out, including project and specification sales managers, business development and key account managers. We screen for sellers who can carry structurally and design-led projects through long procurement and delivery cycles. On the ground in Preston and across the wider North West mezzanines & warehouse fit-out cluster.
Preston sits at the heart of the Lancashire economy, with a position on the M6, M55 and M61 that makes it a natural distribution hub for central and north Lancashire. A substantial advanced manufacturing and aerospace supply chain drives in-factory handling and automation demand, while the distribution base sustains lift truck, racking and storage sales. The University of Central Lancashire provides a strong graduate flow for commercial and technical seats, and the motorway position gives field teams wide regional reach.
The North West's busy warehousing market, served by the M6 and M62 and the Port of Liverpool, supports consistent demand for mezzanines and fit-out as operators maximise space. The distribution clusters around Manchester, Warrington and Preston are an active market for integrated storage and fit-out projects.

Mezzanine and fit-out commercial talent is a specialist, project-led pool. Strong sellers often have a construction, structural or storage systems background and carry credibility on design, building regulations and integration. The market is more fragmented than racking alone, with a mix of specialist mezzanine firms and broader storage businesses, so the best people are spread across smaller specialists and larger systems providers and usually move for bigger projects, better design support or a clearer commercial step up.
Pay in mezzanines and fit-out is driven by project size, the structural and design complexity of the scheme, and the length of the procurement and delivery cycle. Project sellers who manage large, integrated fit-out schemes are rewarded above those handling simpler installs, often with incentives tied to project margin. Reward rises with the scale and complexity of projects managed and the seniority of the accounts held.
Preston Station is the busiest in Lancashire, with direct services to Manchester (45 min), Liverpool (60 min), Lancaster (20 min) and Glasgow. The M6 and M55 give direct motorway access across the North West.
How we work
01
We start with a structured kick-off that captures the commercial objective, not just the title. Reporting line, package, the deal sizes the person will sell, the technical buyers they will sell to, and the behaviours that succeed in your environment.
02
We map where the right people actually sit, across direct competitors, adjacent intralogistics sub-sectors and proven environments in your region. This becomes the longlist of candidates we approach, not just whoever is on the job boards this week.
03
Candidates are approached with a clear commercial narrative, not a job advert. We communicate the opportunity, the products, the customers and the growth path, so only genuinely relevant people move forward.
04
Two structured commercial screens before a candidate ever reaches you. Track record validation, deal-stage probing, technical credibility and a credibility check on the numbers they have actually delivered.
05
You receive a considered shortlist, not a CV flood. Each candidate is presented with strengths, potential risks and a fit assessment. We then support the process through to offer, acceptance and the first 90 days.
