About the Role

Strive Staffing Solutions are recruiting on behalf of a well-established and rapidly growing specialist landscaping supply brand for a Business Development Manager to manage and grow their South & Southwest territory.

Our client already has a strong distribution footprint across the region, with over 50 merchant and stockist accounts in place. This role presents a genuine opportunity to take ownership of an existing account base, develop relationships, expand product ranges and drive new business across the region.

This is a field-based role with an Iver office base, where travel is focused on high-value account visits rather than unnecessary mileage. The successful candidate will take a structured, commercially driven approach to account management and territory growth.

Key Responsibilities

  * 

    Take ownership of all existing accounts within the territory, introducing yourself and reviewing current product ranges across approximately 54 stockist relationships

  * 

    Develop and grow revenue within existing merchant and independent stockist partners including networks and regional builders’ merchants

  * 

    Expand product ranges within accounts through upselling and cross-selling opportunities

  * 

    Prospect and open new merchant and trade stockist accounts across the South, South East and South West

  * 

    Build relationships with landscape contractors and driveway installers to drive specification demand through merchant partners

  * 

    Attend trade shows, merchant open days, and landscaping industry events across the territory

  * 

    Maintain accurate account records, visit logs, and pipeline activity within CRM

  * 

    Provide weekly territory performance updates, including sales activity, revenue trends and market intelligence

What Success Looks Like

Within 6 Months

  * 

    All existing accounts visited and assessed with a clear view of active, dormant, and growth opportunities

  * 

    Increase in reorder frequency and order value across existing accounts

  * 

    At least 10 new stockist accounts opened within the territory

Within 12 Months

  * 

    The South territory making a significant contribution to wholesale revenue

  * 

    Growth within existing accounts through expanded product ranges and higher purchase frequency

  * 

    A consistent pipeline of new merchant partners and stockists being opened

Candidate Requirements

Essential

  * 

    Minimum 3+ years field sales experience within building products, landscaping supplies, drainage, or a related sector

  * 

    Proven experience managing and growing an established territory of accounts

  * 

    Comfortable building relationships with branch managers and trade counter buyers at both independent and national merchants

  * 

    Highly organised and structured in territory planning and call cycles

  * 

    Strong commercial mindset with a focus on revenue growth

  * 

    Clean full UK driving licence

Desirable

  * 

    Existing network within builders’ merchants, landscaping suppliers, or trade distribution
