Sales Executive - Extrusions / Fenestration
£45,000 - £50,000 + OTE circa £60,000 + Company Car / Car Allowance
West Midlands / North West / Manchester
Field-based with approximately one day per week in the West Midlands
An established UK manufacturer within the glazing, fenestration and extrusion sector is looking to recruit an experienced Sales Executive to help strengthen existing customer relationships and drive new business across the UK and Ireland.
This is a particularly good opportunity for somebody who enjoys technical, relationship-led sales but also has the hunger and tenacity to identify new opportunities and win business from competitors.
The company manufactures and supplies a broad range of extruded seals, gaskets and associated products, supporting customers including system houses, fabricators, installers, aluminium specialists, window and door manufacturers and other businesses across the construction and manufacturing sectors.
The Role
You will take responsibility for developing sales across an established customer base while actively identifying and converting new business opportunities.
Your role will include:
Managing and developing relationships with existing customers across the UK and Ireland.
Identifying and winning new business with system houses, fabricators, installers, manufacturers and stockists.
Developing relationships with key decision makers including owners, purchasing teams and production managers.
Understanding customers' applications and requirements and recommending appropriate product solutions.
Working closely with the manufacturing and technical teams on bespoke and custom extrusion opportunities.
Building a strong pipeline, maintaining regular contact with prospects and providing straightforward weekly sales activity reporting.
About You
We are looking for an experienced salesperson who combines strong relationship-building skills with genuine new-business drive.
Ideally, you will have experience within one or more of the following areas:
Fenestration, windows, doors or glazing systems.
Aluminium systems or architectural aluminium.
Rubber seals, gaskets or extrusion products.
PVC, plastic or flexible extrusion.
Building products, roofing products or associated construction products.
Manufacturing or other technically led products. Direct extrusion experience would be particularly useful, but it is not essential. What matters more is that you are commercially minded, technically curious and able to understand how a product works and where it can solve a customer's problem.
You should be:
A confident and credible B2B salesperson.
Comfortable developing both existing accounts and new business.
Tenacious, self-motivated and proactive.
Able to understand and discuss technical products.
Customer focused with strong relationship-building skills.
Capable of identifying opportunities rather than simply servicing existing accounts.
Comfortable working independently across a geographical territory.
The Opportunity
The business has been established for more than 25 years and manufactures from its own West Midlands facility. It supplies a broad range of standard and bespoke extruded and moulded products into the window, door, glazing and wider manufacturing sectors
