Area Sales Manager – Midlands
Build the Territory. Win the Business. Make It Yours.
Universal Motors is growing, and we’re looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Area Sales Manager to take ownership of our Midlands territory.
This is an opportunity to build rather than inherit. You’ll be responsible for identifying new opportunities, opening doors, developing relationships and winning business.
You’ll have the backing of an established European manufacturer, a strong product range, competitive pricing, significant UK stockholding and an experienced team supporting you.
What we need from you is the drive to turn those advantages into customers, sales and long-term relationships.
The Role
You’ll have the freedom and responsibility to develop the Midlands in your own way.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys the chase — someone confident picking up the phone, getting in front of customers, asking the right questions and finding opportunities.
Where Universal Motors already has customers across the region, you’ll also be responsible for strengthening those relationships and increasing our share of their business.
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.
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven B2B sales experience, ideally within an industrial, engineering or technical environment.
- A genuine new-business mentality.
- Confidence dealing with customers at all levels.
- Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills.
- Commercial awareness and excellent communication.
- Self-motivation and the ability to work independently.
- A proactive approach — we don’t need someone to be told where to go.
- A full UK driving licence. A clean licence is preferred.
- Willingness to travel within Europe when required, including visits to our Head Office in Portugal for product training.
Learn From the Best
Our manufacturing operation and Head Office are based in Portugal. You’ll have the opportunity to visit for dedicated product training, working alongside experienced technical and product specialists to build the knowledge and confidence to sell both technically and commercially.

Why Universal Motors?
Universal Motors is an established European manufacturer supplying electric motors, gearboxes, inverters and control panels, supported by significant stock availability and operations across Europe.
Our proposition is simple: competitive products, competitive pricing, strong availability and excellent service.
Now we’re looking to take that proposition further across the Midlands.
What’s In It For You?
- Salary: Competitive, based on experience
- Bonus: Attractive monthly sales & profit bonus scheme
- Company car
- Company mobile phone
- Laptop & iPad
You’ll also have the support of an established sales and technical team, while retaining the freedom to run your territory.
The Opportunity
If you’re happy managing an existing customer base, this probably isn’t the role for you.
If you want to build something, win new business, grow a territory and be rewarded for the results you create — we want to hear from you.
Build the territory. Win the business. Make it yours.
