Our client is a European manufacturer of industrial piping systems used in compressed air and gas applications.

Already established across multiple European markets, the business is now strengthening its UK presence and investing in a key commercial hire to accelerate growth.

This is a field-based Area Sales Manager position with full responsibility for developing the UK market.

• Build new business across the territory
• Drive sales through the right commercial channels
• Position solutions upstream on industrial projects

This is a high-impact, front-line role with real ownership of the market.

• Compressed air / compressor distributors
• Design offices influencing industrial projects

• Strong track record in new business development
• Experience working with distributors, installers or project-based sales
• Autonomous, field-driven and commercially sharp
• A network is a plus, but the ability to open doors and build activity from scratch is key
