We are retained by one of the largest Timber Frame Manufacturers in the UK to fill this key business development role. More importantly though - they are probably the most forward thinking, have substantial growth and development plans and everyone we speak to there is so genuinely enthusiastic about the company!

This Business Development Manager role is a key member of the Sales Team, and will support the Sales and Marketing Director in the development and delivery of a sound Sales and Marketing strategy that achieves the aims and objectives of the Division and fulfils the Group Corporate Plan.

Effective fulfilment of the role will require the post holder to maintain regular communications with current and potential clients, technical and operational personnel to enable the business to maximise opportunities, minimise threats and support change within the Division to achieve corporate/divisional objectives.

The growth and competitive edge within the business is highly dependent on the development of a positive profile in the industry, based on strong client relationships and a clear understanding of the market-place in which the Division and its competitors operate including political, economic, environmental and technological developments. The post holder will also be expected to contribute to promotional and customer support proposals, demonstrating both a commercial and technical awareness of new opportunities and to problem solving amongst the client base.
