Join a leading UK manufacturer breaking new ground

Shape your own region and build long-term growth

The Company

We're partnering with a well established UK manufacturer of security and access control solutions, supplying high quality gates, barriers, turnstiles, bollards and service contracts. Their products are trusted across sectors including commercial sites, critical infrastructure, construction, stadiums, and public sector environments.

The client has been operating for over 20 years and has a very strong reputation. They have a loyal customer base, a secure foundation to grow and an aspirational leadership team who want to take the company to the next level.

With ongoing expansion and major frameworks developing, the business is now hiring two Area Sales Managers - one covering the Midlands and one covering the South. These are growth roles focused on winning new business and establishing long term regional presence.

The Role

This is a proactive, self generating sales position suited to someone who thrives on building opportunities from scratch. You'll be speaking with engineering, FM and security decision makers, identifying technical challenges, and positioning tailored solutions.
