Ready to Step Up and Drive Results?
Are you a motivated builders’ merchant professional with a passion for sales and leadership? Looking for the next step where you can make a real commercial impact while developing your management career?
My client is looking for an ambitious Assistant Branch Manager to play a key role in the success of their busy, fast-paced branch. This is more than a support role — it’s an opportunity to lead from the front, grow sales, inspire a team, and help shape the future performance of the branch.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Assistant Branch Manager, you’ll be right at the heart of the operation:
• Supporting the Branch Manager in the day-to-day running of a busy, customer-focused branch.
• Taking the lead in driving sales growth — spotting opportunities, building relationships, and converting enquiries into revenue.
• Delivering outstanding service to trade and retail customers alike.
• Coaching, motivating, and developing the team to hit and exceed targets.
• Overseeing stock control, purchasing, merchandising, and supplier relationships to maximise availability and margin.
• Stepping up to manage the branch confidently in the Branch Manager’s absence.
• Promoting a safe, compliant, and well-organised working environment.
This is a hands-on role where your energy, commercial awareness, and leadership skills will directly influence branch performance.
What We’re Looking For
• Solid experience within the builders’ merchant or construction supplies sector.
• A strong sales background with a proven record of achieving and exceeding targets.
• A proactive, lead-from-the-front management style.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to build trust quickly.
• Strong organisational skills and a results-driven mindset.
• Confidence in developing strong relationships with trade customers and colleagues.
• A positive attitude and the ambition to take ownership and progress your career.
What’s In It For You?
• Competitive salary
• Monthly bonus scheme
• Generous holiday allowance, increasing with length of service
• Pension scheme
• Ongoing training and genuine career progression opportunities
• Supportive, team-oriented working environment
• Uniform provided
• Generous staff discounts
If you’re ready to step up, take ownership, and build a successful future within a growing builders’ merchant business — we’d love to hear from you.
