Business Development Director – James Latham – a leading multi-site distribution business.
Flexible with location – role naturally involves regular travel
James Latham is one of the UK and Ireland’s largest independent trade distributors of timber, panels and decorative surfaces. They supply products to a broad range of customers, from contractors and merchants, through to designers and makers. The business can trace its history back to 1757.
They are stable, secure, and financially strong, with long-serving staff. They have a well-invested network of distribution facilities. Acquisitions have been successfully integrated. They have a great culture with quick decision-making and an entrepreneurial approach. The future looks very bright for this business
They have grown significantly over the last 25 years, with a turnover in excess of £350m, trading from 17 locations. They have a further ambitious growth plan with plenty of opportunities: new products, new markets, deepening existing relationships, increasing market share, and improving productivity and efficiency within their business by investing in facilities and technology
Due to growth, future development plans, and a desire to take advantage of the opportunities they’ve identified (and maybe some they haven’t yet), they are looking to recruit a high-calibre Business Development Director.
The Business Development Director will identify and pursue new business opportunities to drive revenue growth and market expansion, leading the integration of new acquisitions and products into existing business operations and developing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders, partner companies, and trade associations.
This is a broad commercial and strategic role, not just front-end business development.

Potential candidates should have:
- A successful career history in similar positions, delivering growth for the business via many initiatives. Experience within the timber and building products industry is an advantage but far from a prerequisite
- Ability to quickly integrate into the culture
- High levels of credibility and gravitas
- Can operate at pace with a high level of personal energy, inspiring people to come on the journey
- The ability to take considered and rounded analytical views that result in clear and strong decision-making
- Will challenge the status quo in their drive for greater effectiveness. This a successful business, far from broken. It’s more a case of evolution than revolution
- The ability to move between strategic viewpoints and tactical action with ease
- Exceptional communication skills: the ability to relate to those at all levels within the business
- Excellent leadership and team-building skills, with the ability to motivate and develop high-performing teams.
