Key Accounts Manager

A respected specialist hard flooring contractor is looking to appoint a Sales / Key Accounts Manager to support the next phase of growth from its Altrincham office. With over 30 years in the market, nationwide delivery capability, and a strong reputation across terrazzo, ceramics and industrial resin flooring, this is a business with a well established name and a strong platform for further expansion. The company already operates across the UK and Ireland and is now looking to strengthen client relationships, develop new business and broaden its reach into additional sectors.

This is a strong opportunity for a commercially minded sales professional who wants more than a desk-based role. You will work closely with the Contracts Directors and Commercial Team, helping drive new business while also developing existing client accounts. The position has been created with long term succession planning in mind, so there is genuine scope for the right person to build a career and play a key role in the future direction of the business. When not out on-site visits, you will be office based in Altrincham, with nationwide travel and occasional nights away required.
