Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom Collingwood Executive Search Full time

Company Overview:

Collingwood Executive Search is proud to partner with a prominent UK distributor that caters to both trade and public sectors, specializing in technical and building products. With a legacy spanning over 40 years, this organization has thrived through a decentralized model, empowering dynamic individuals to manage over 350 Business Centres as their own enterprises. This successful approach has led to impressive financial performance, generating over £1.4 billion in turnover. Business Centre Leaders benefit from significant autonomy in decision-making and a transparent profit-sharing scheme that rewards the success of their individual centres.

Role Overview:

In this unique structure, successful Business Centre Leaders are not your typical managers. Their responsibilities extend beyond basic operational tasks; they have authority over product marketing, pricing strategies, customer engagement, and business growth initiatives.

The Exeter branch currently operates with a turnover of approximately £2 million, with the potential for growth to £3 million in the coming years, as anticipated by the regional director.

The incoming Business Centre Leader will take over a stable and skilled team of seven, requiring motivation and strategic guidance to cultivate new business opportunities and develop existing accounts.

Candidate Requirements:

The ideal candidate will possess the following attributes:

  • A strong leadership presence with the ability to inspire and enhance team performance
  • An entrepreneurial mindset coupled with effective problem-solving capabilities
  • A willingness to explore current operations and challenge existing practices when necessary
  • Experience in formulating sales strategies and leading initiatives in both new business acquisition and customer retention
  • Analytical skills to assess data and devise innovative strategies
  • Product knowledge is not a prerequisite, allowing for a broader search across various sectors
  • Residence in the Exeter area is preferred

What We Offer:

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a market leader recognized for nurturing top talent. If you seek a role free from office politics and corporate red tape, where you can have a significant impact on your region's future, this position is tailored for you. Enjoy a competitive salary and a transparent profit-sharing scheme that acknowledges your contributions to success.
