Who we are

We're Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, part of the Travis Perkins family since 2006. We're all about delivering stylish, high-quality kitchens that cater to all tastes and budgets. With over 150 branches and showrooms, we offer top-tier appliances, worktops, and joinery from leading brands.

We work closely with installers to design and deliver ready-assembled kitchens that truly inspire our customers. We're a team that values collaboration, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and we're always looking for passionate people to join us on our journey.

What you'll be doing

As a Kitchen Designer, you'll bring strong sales experience and a customer-first mindset to deliver stunning, tailored kitchen designs for both Trade Customers and Homeowners. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a target-driven environment and enjoys building long-term client relationships. You'll be confident using CAD software (full training provided) to create bespoke plans, manage a pipeline of quotes, and maximise sales opportunities through upselling and add-ons. A full UK driving licence is essential, as you'll regularly travel to customer sites, showrooms, and project locations. If you're a self-motivated sales professional with a passion for design and delivering outstanding service, we'll give you the tools and support to succeed.
