Elite Talent Hub is a specialist in permanent staffing solutions for clients both nationally and internationally.

On behalf of our client, a well-established, multi-site timber processing and building products group with operations across Ireland and the UK, we are seeking an Area Sales Manager to manage and grow an established customer base across the North of England and the Midlands. This is a field-based commercial role reporting to the Head of Group Sales, with clear accountability for an assigned sales territory and customer portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively manage and grow an established customer base while identifying and developing new business opportunities within the assigned territory.
  • Build, maintain and strengthen long-lasting relationships with key accounts and buying groups.
  • Manage and develop the assigned sales territory through structured planning, prioritisation and effective account management.
  • Achieve, exceed and consistently deliver agreed annual sales targets and key performance milestones.
  • Ensure a high standard of customer service is maintained across all accounts, acting as a trusted commercial partner.
  • Accurately maintain sales activity, customer information and account data within the CRM system.
  • Represent the business professionally, in line with its values and commercial objectives.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
