Regional Sales Manager – South Central

Know your market. Know your customers. Know where the opportunity is.

We’re looking for a Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of our South Central territory, covering an area from Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire down towards the South Coast.

You’ll already be well connected within the plumbing and heating industry, whether your experience comes from a merchant, wholesaler, supplier or manufacturer. You’ll use those relationships, alongside a strong commercial approach, to develop existing accounts, win new business and deliver profitable sales growth.

This isn’t just about making calls. We’re looking for someone who can understand their territory, use sales and customer data to spot opportunities and focus their time where it will make the biggest difference.

What you’ll be doing:

- Growing sales and gross margin across your territory

- Developing existing accounts and increasing product breadth and share of wallet

- Winning new customers and re-engaging lapsed accounts

- Building strong relationships across the market

- Using sales, margin and customer data to identify and prioritise opportunities

- Managing pricing, negotiations, your pipeline and sales forecasts

- Working closely with internal teams and supplier partners

What we’re looking for:

You’ll have proven success in external sales, account management or business development within the plumbing and heating industry, with an existing network and a strong understanding of the market.

You’ll be proactive, commercially aware, confident negotiating and building relationships, and comfortable managing your own territory and pipeline. You’ll also have an aptitude for using data to drive sales, alongside good CRM and reporting skills.

A full UK driving licence is essential. You’ll ideally be based centrally within the territory and comfortable travelling regularly across the region.

If you know the P&H market, have the relationships to open doors and the commercial mindset to turn opportunity into profitable growth, we’d like to hear from you.
