Branch Manager Designate - Builders Merchants

Builders Merchants
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 + Company Car / Car Allowance + Branch Manager Benefits

Are you an ambitious Assistant Branch Manager ready to take the next step in your career? Or perhaps you're an experienced Branch Manager looking to join a successful business with excellent long-term career prospects?

Our client, a well-established and respected independent builders' merchant, is looking to recruit a Branch Manager Designate to join their management team.

This is a genuine development role where you'll work alongside an experienced Branch Manager, learning every aspect of running a successful branch. You'll receive hands-on training, attend management courses and be given the support needed to progress into your own Branch Manager position.

The Opportunity

This is far more than an Assistant Branch Manager role. You'll be employed on a Branch Manager package, including a company car or car allowance, while developing the skills and experience required to take full responsibility for your own branch.

You'll gain exposure to every aspect of the business, including:

• Leading and motivating branch and yard teams.
• Developing customer relationships and delivering outstanding service.
• Driving sales growth and profitability.
• Managing day-to-day branch operations.
• Stock control and health & safety.
• Supporting recruitment, training and staff development.
• Learning the commercial and financial aspects of branch management.

What We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with candidates who have experience within the builders' merchants industry, ideally as:

• Assistant Branch Manager looking for the next step.
• Existing Branch Manager seeking a fresh opportunity.
• Supervisor or Department Manager with strong leadership experience and genuine management potential.

The successful candidate will be:

• Passionate about delivering exceptional customer service.
• A confident leader who enjoys developing and motivating people.
• Commercially aware with a proactive approach to sales.
• Organised, driven and eager to progress their career.

Package

• £40,000 - £45,000 basic salary (dependent on experience) 
• Company Car or Car Allowance.
• Full Branch Manager benefits package.
• Excellent training and development programme.
• Genuine career progression into your own Branch Manager position.
