You'll play a key role in managing the full supply chain, from stockists through to Tier 2 contractors, ensuring our market-leading solutions are successfully specified and delivered across your region.
Representing a full suite of products from Fosroc, RIW, GCP and Stirling Lloyd, you'll build strong customer relationships, identify opportunities, and ensure our partners receive the highest level of service and support.

- A genuine, customer-focused approach, professional, personable and confident communicating technical observations clearly and effectively
- Resilience and confidence when facing challenges, with the ability to adapt to changing customer needs
- A proactive, self-motivated mindset, someone driven, hungry for success and able to operate independently
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.
