Builders Merchant Branch Manager

Premier Work Support is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of an established builders' merchant for an ambitious and commercially driven Branch Manager / General Manager to take ownership of its West London operation.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced business leader to take on a challenging role with the autonomy to develop, structure and grow a business with significant potential.

Unlike a traditional Branch Manager position, the successful candidate will be responsible for assessing the current operation, identifying opportunities for improvement and developing a clear business strategy to drive productivity, sales, business development and profitability.

During the first 3-6 months, you will be expected to develop and implement a structured action plan, establish appropriate KPIs and performance measures, and demonstrate how you intend to improve overall business performance.

We welcome applications from commercially minded individuals with experience at Branch Manager, General Manager, Area Manager or Director level.

• Review and improve operational processes, efficiency and cost control.
• Lead, motivate and develop a high-performing team.
• Work closely with senior management to shape and deliver the future direction of the business.
• Ensure operational standards and Health & Safety requirements are maintained.

The Ideal Candidate

• Proven senior management experience within a builders' merchant, construction supplies or a related industry.
• Experience at Branch Manager, General Manager, Area Manager or Director level.
• A strong track record of improving business performance, increasing sales and driving profitability.
• Experience developing and implementing business plans and commercial strategies.
• Strong financial awareness, including budgets, margins, cost control and profit and loss.
• Excellent leadership, communication and business development skills.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial and results-driven approach.
• The ability to take ownership, identify opportunities and deliver measurable improvements.

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £65,000-£75,000 per annum, depending on experience.
• A senior leadership opportunity with genuine autonomy and responsibility.
• The opportunity to shape business strategy and influence future growth.
• The ability to make a tangible impact on productivity, sales and profitability.

Working Hours

• Monday to Friday: 7:00am - 5:00pm.
