Exeter UK, Devon, United Kingdom Collingwood Executive Search Full time

Company Profile:

Collingwood is the retained search partner for a leading UK distributor serving both trade and public sectors with specialist technical and building products. For over 40 years, the client has thrived with a decentralised structure, empowering entrepreneurial individuals to run over 350 Business Centres as if they were their own businesses. This approach has been highly successful, with the company generating over £1.4bn in turnover. Business Centre Managers enjoy autonomy in decision-making and benefit from a transparent profit share scheme, rewarding the profitability of their individual centres.


Role Context:

Successful Business Centre Managers in this distributor's structure are not typical "Branch Managers." Their role goes beyond basic operations; they have control over product promotion, pricing, customer selection, and business development processes.

The Exeter branch currently has a turnover of around £2 million. Given its size and local potential, the regional director expects this to grow to £3 million within the next three years.

The new Business Centre Manager will inherit a stable and capable team of seven, needing guidance and energy to develop new business and nurture emerging accounts.


Candidate Profile:

Aside from typical managerial traits, the ideal candidate must:

  • Be a strong leader with the ability to influence and improve team performance
  • Demonstrate an entrepreneurial approach and problem-solving skills
  • Show curiosity about current operations and challenge the status quo when needed
  • Have experience in driving sales strategy and leading from the front in both new business development and customer retention
  • Possess analytical skills to interpret data and develop fresh strategies
  • Product knowledge is not essential, broadening the search to various sectors
  • Reside in the Exeter area


And In Return...

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a market leader known for retaining top talent. If you're tired of office politics or corporate bureaucracy and want more control over your region's future, this role is for you. You'll enjoy a competitive salary and a transparent profit share scheme that rewards your success.
