My client is an established Australian distributor supplying plumbing and trade products across Sydney. They have a strong existing customer base and a broad product range across plumbing, drainage, water, valves, fittings and associated trade products.

The Role

You'll be expected to identify new customers, understand who they currently buy from and give them a reason to move their business across.

You'll have the product range, support and existing accounts behind you — your job is to build the relationships and grow the territory.
