Branch Manager (Industrial Sector)
Company: Thorite Flowtech
Location: Skelmersdale
Competitive salary with company performance-based bonus and commission structure in place.
Thorite, part of the Flowtech PLC Group, is seeking an entrepreneurial go-getter to join the newly established branch in Skelmersdale. As a major UK-based supplier of compressed air, pneumatics, and fluid power products, we're looking for someone eager to make their mark by driving the success and growth into this specific branch.
This is an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated individual to take ownership of the branch, manage day-to-day operations while developing new business opportunities, and delivering exceptional customer service. You'll be responsible for liaising with customers, processing orders, replenishing stock, and providing technical solutions, while proactively identifying and visiting prospective customers to grow the branch's presence. Although you'll initially be the sole employee on-site, you'll benefit from the support of the wider Flowtech team based next door.
