Stevenswood is looking for a commercially minded, hands on Branch Manager to lead its established Leeds trade counter.
This is a site based opportunity to run and grow your own branch, supported by an established UK business, an experienced team and a strong product range.
Alongside your basic salary, you can earn an uncapped quarterly bonus, starting from £500, plus an additional sales based variable salary bonus of up to £8,800 a year.
You will also receive five weeks’ holiday plus bank holidays, healthcare, free onsite parking and a 3.30pm finish every Friday. There is no Saturday working, so your weekends remain your own.
The role
As Trade Counter Branch Manager, you will take responsibility for the day to day performance of the Leeds branch and lead a small, experienced team of two Branch Assistants.
You will build strong relationships with existing customers, attract new trade business and ensure every customer receives knowledgeable, reliable and friendly service.
This is not a desk based management role. You will be visible in the branch, supporting customers, preparing quotations, processing orders and helping the team keep operations running smoothly.
You will have responsibility for branch sales and P&L performance, although you will not be expected to prepare the accounts. You will have the freedom to identify opportunities, grow the customer base and make a genuine impact on the success of the branch.
Your responsibilities will include:
Leading, motivating and supporting the branch team
Building relationships with new and existing trade customers
Driving sales, margin and branch performance
Managing the branch against sales and P&L objectives
Preparing quotations and processing customer orders
Promoting the Stevenswood product and service range
Resolving customer queries quickly and professionally
Supporting stock, deliveries and daily branch operations

You will be a confident and approachable leader with strong commercial instincts and a genuine passion for customer service.

You will need:
Previous leadership or team management experience
Experience within trade supply, a trade counter or a similar environment
Strong sales and customer relationship skills
A commercial approach and the drive to grow branch performance
A practical, hands on approach to branch operations
Excellent communication and organisational skills
A full UK driving licence
