 It’s an extremely rewarding and long career for those hard working and self-motivated people, but don’t be fooled, it’s not easy, and in a small team that all work extremely hard, if you don’t have the strong work ethic required, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb!

In this industry more than any other, people deal with people, so you need to be a people person, potential customers need to gravitate towards you, because they like you, you’re helpful, and above all, they trust the fact you’re looking after the enquires that will support their business, in an accurate and timely manner.

You’ll need to have a dynamic and friendly personality, whilst also having the hunger and drive to succeed, a good eye for detail is critical as you’ll be using part numbers that can sometimes be very similar, to keep our stock accurate, items need to be booked in and out correctly, in busy periods you’ll be multi-tasking, so being able to cope with workloads by writing things down is important.

As part of the role, you’ll be answering the phone and dealing with enquiries, as well as being on the trade counter, where you’ll be serving a wide range of different customers, some regular trade customers, some retail first time visitors, in this business, first impressions are everything, so helping to keep the trade counter clean and fully stocked is key.

When picking orders, some of the items can be heavy, you’ll also be required to cut large, armoured cable, so you need to be physically fit for this position!

Our business is built on delivering an outstanding customer service, so a positive attitude where we can’t do enough for our customers is the number one priority, ensuring our customers are fully aware of both positive and negative situations with their orders.

You’ll begin with a small number of existing accounts, where you’ll be expected to contact all of them each month, but you’ll also be expected to grow this list yourself by opening new trade accounts, so having the confidence to pick up the phone and create conversations with potential new customers is also another important requirement.

We have processes in place to ensure that mistakes are minimal, so you will need to always abide by these, this is non-negotiable.

In return for your hard work and commitment, there is a good salary and a market leading profit share scheme available, which is uncapped, so you really can earn whatever you like, the more new business you bring in, the more business you maintain, the more money you make for you and your family!

Experience would clearly be preferred but attitude is more important.

We’re a strong family, and we’re looking for the next person to come and join us, if you feel you have what it takes to succeed, then we want to hear from you!
