Salary: £40,000 + OTE £50,000 - £55,000
Consortium Professional Recruitment are delighted to be working with our client to recruit a Business Development Executive to help drive continued growth across Northern England and Scotland.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially driven sales professional who enjoys getting out in front of customers, developing long-term relationships, and creating opportunities for growth. Rather than simply chasing sales, you'll become a trusted partner to your customers, helping them find the right solutions while growing both existing accounts and new business.
We're particularly interested in speaking with candidates from the panelling, decorative surfaces, timber, joinery, fit-out, interiors, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, building products, or similar industries.
If you understand the value of great customer relationships and enjoy making things happen commercially, we'd love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
As a Business Development Executive, you'll have the freedom to manage your own territory while developing strong relationships with both existing and prospective customers.
Your role will include:
- Growing an established portfolio of customer accounts whilst identifying opportunities to increase spend and strengthen relationships.
- Winning new business by developing relationships with merchants, distributors, contractors, installers, and interior specialists.
- Becoming the first point of contact for customers, understanding their requirements, and recommending the right product solutions.
- Identifying new market opportunities and developing plans to increase market share across your region.
- Delivering product demonstrations and supporting customers with technical advice when required.
- Working closely with internal teams to ensure customers receive an excellent experience from enquiry through to delivery.
- Managing your sales pipeline and customer activity to ensure every opportunity is maximized.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a role where your personality, commercial mindset, and relationship-building skills will be just as important as your sales experience.
About You
We're looking for someone who enjoys developing relationships just as much as delivering results.
You'll ideally have:
- Experience in field sales, account management, or business development.
- A background within panelling, decorative products, timber, interiors, building products, or a similar sector.
- A genuine passion for building customer relationships and developing long-term partnerships.
- The confidence to identify and win new business whilst nurturing existing accounts.
- A proactive, self-motivated approach with the drive to exceed targets.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- Strong commercial awareness and the ability to spot opportunities others might miss.
- The ability to work independently whilst collaborating with colleagues across the business.
Whether you've built your career selling wall panelling, decorative boards, timber products, interior finishes, or similar solutions, you'll understand how important service, trust, and long-term relationships are to success.
