Reporting to the UK Business Development Director, you will be a key member of the business development team with responsibility and autonomy for enhancing our client portfolio to maximise opportunities to meet business growth targets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement strategic business development plans to drive sales growth and expand our customer base across the north and midlands of England.

• Client Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with existing clients, serving as the primary point of contact for their timber frame needs. Understand their requirements, address concerns, and proactively seek opportunities for upselling and cross-selling. The remit is inclusive of timber frame wall panels, floor systems (open web & I-joists) and roof solutions all of which are designed, manufactured and controlled within Deeside.
• Project Coordination: Work closely with clients and internal teams to ensure smooth project execution from initial enquiry to completion. Coordinate with design, production, and installation teams to deliver timber frame solutions that meet client expectations and project timelines.

• Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, and networking functions to promote our brand, services and contribute to wider awareness and adoption of timber frame solutions.
• As the global focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles continues to grow, we are committed to integrating ESG considerations into our operations and decision-making processes. Our commitment to ESG management underscores our dedication to responsible business practices and reinforces our position as a leader in the construction industry. As part of this role you will be required to represent, promote and contribute to the following:
  • Prioritize sustainable forestry practices, sourcing timber from responsibly managed forests and promoting forest regeneration.

  • Foster a safe and inclusive workplace environment for our employees, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Support local communities by providing job opportunities, investing in skills development, and contributing to community development projects.
  • Commitment to ethical business practices extends to our supply chain, where we collaborate with suppliers who share our values and adhere to high standards of social responsibility.

By integrating ESG considerations into our timber frame business operations, we aim to create value for our stakeholders while contributing to a sustainable and resilient future for the built environment.

Requirements:
