Ventro Group is a leading fire safety and building compliance business, delivering critical life safety services across the United Kingdom. Backed by private equity investment from KLAR Partners, we are on an ambitious growth trajectory - scaling our operations, investing in our people, and setting new standards across the fire safety sector.
Operating through our specialist brands - Ventro, Firntec, RD Jukes, and HJS - we provide a comprehensive range of fire safety and building compliance solutions including active and passive fire protection, façade remediation, fire risk assessments, fire door services, and electrical engineering.
This is an exciting time to join a business that is professionalising at pace, building best-in-class infrastructure, and making a genuine difference to the safety of buildings and the people who live and work in them.
The Role
We are recruiting a Sales Executive to join our Active Fire division, based in Plymouth with regional travel.
This role is responsible for managing and growing key client accounts, primarily across Housing Associations, NHS Trusts, and Local Authorities, while also driving new business development across the South, Wales and the M4 corridor.
You will act as the primary commercial point of contact, building long-term client relationships, identifying revenue opportunities, and converting pipeline into secured work.
This is a high-impact, field-based sales role suited to a results-driven Key Account Manager, Business Development Manager, or Area Sales professional who thrives in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment.
