You’ll spend time with customers and your team, while also having the commercial responsibility to make informed decisions about branch performance. Who we’d like to meet You’ll have experience leading people and delivering commercial results. Knowledge of timber, hardware or building products is significant, as is an understanding of what trade customers expect from a supplier. Your title does not need to be Branch Manager. You may be leading a trade centre, building-products team, store or sales-and-operations function and be ready for broader responsibility.
