Sunderland, Sunderland, United Kingdom Bridgewater Resources UK Full time
Graduate Sales and Business Management Trainee Role

A comprehensive graduate programme designed to cultivate sales leaders and managers is now available at Bridgewater Resources UK, the UK's largest supplier of electrical equipment.

The company recognises the importance of nurturing talent and building a strong succession plan. Their graduate programme was established over a decade ago to bring in bright and ambitious graduates.

  • Programme Overview:
  • Develop a core knowledge of business operations, including warehouse, logistics, supply chain, administration, IT software, and marketing.
  • Get hands-on with the vast product range and learn about manufacturers and the electrical distribution industry.
  • Build relationships, make deals, and advise customers face-to-face over the trade counter.
  • Begin formal sales training course and network with other Graduate Trainees.
  • Complete workbook assessments to underpin learning and development with financial incentives.

Moving into internal sales account management with business customers over the phone after 6-12 months allows for learning business development strategies and targeting new trading accounts. Progressing to business-to-business field sales management with increased earning potential and bigger bonuses after 12 months and beyond offers travel opportunities and the chance to work towards running your own business in the group.

This role values innovation, autonomy, and career development. We seek graduates who are relationship builders, competitive, and driven with a passion for sales and building lasting relationships. A full UK driving licence is required for this role and we're looking for graduates who can start a full-time position immediately.

Key Benefits:

  • Average salary: £25,000 - £30,000 per annum, depending on experience.
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities.
  • Chance to progress to senior roles within the company.
  • Bonus structure and commission based on sales performance.
