Headlam is Europe's largest floor covering distributer, with a long 30-year heritage, with many of our market leading businesses and brands within the group having been established well before becoming part of Headlam.

Our purpose, vision and values set out how we want to make a positive difference for our industry and wider sector, how we want to be seen and how we work together.
• Our purpose is *creating great places for our communities to live work and play. *
• Our vision is being *the leading, most trusted experts in flooring.*
• Our shared strategy is to *deliver success, together*

And we'll deliver this by all our businesses working *the Headlam Way* - which are our shared values.
• Our shared value of always doing the right thing remains at our core - we treat people fairly and do business the right way.
• And our number one value is *keeping each other safe and well*. It's vital that we all work safe and get home safely at the end of each day.

People are at the heart of our business and we have an unrivalled wealth of expertise and skills across the group, keeping our industry strong, relevant and rich with expertise and delivering for every customer.

You will be responsible for:
• Managing your area to deliver *sales revenue* targets.
• Build *relationships* with new and existing *customers*; advising and influencing them to grow flooring sales for our business
• Place and present *sampling and displays* to introduce customers to new products and ranges and drive incremental sales.

The role sits within our Contract Sales Team and specifically covers the

South East/Norfolk/Suffolk/North London & Surrounding Area

You will inherit a significant customer base of Independent Contractors with a great potential for further growth. Whilst we have a strong and enviable brand, we need to keep evolving to remain leaders in our field.

Your role will be to identify new and existing customers' potential and leveraging opportunities to grow sales with existing products. You will launch our new ranges across all commercial and safety flooring products into your customers, utilising sales samples and the product literature provided.

You'll be working across a large geographical area - so you'll be organised, structured and conscientious in how you approach your territory and journey planning, reporting and follow-up activity.

Being out on the road means you'll need to be self-reliant and self-motivated, but we'd like you to be a great team player too! We have a strong team ethos and encourage all colleagues to work together to provide the best experience for our customers.
• In particular you'll bring:*
• Sales success - mainly in a commercial, wholesale or other customer-facing role.
