Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Location: Plumbase Sidcup

About UsAt Plumbase, we are part of the largest independent networks of plumbing and heating merchants in the UK – over 320 sites nationwide. Our sites are run by people who know their customers, their stock, and their local market. That\’s because we give them autonomy and ownership – not a one‐size‐fits‐all script.

Job OverviewWe\’re looking for someone who can run this showroom with energy, initiative, and a commercial eye to join our Plumbase showroom in Sidcup – someone who understands that good design matters, but great relationships and follow‐through are what drive results. You\’ll guide customers through their journey from first enquiry to final order, while also taking a proactive role in building relationships with local installers, developing repeat business, and keeping the showroom front‐of‐mind with both trade and retail customers.

You\’ll have the freedom to shape your space, tailor your approach, and trade in a way that works for your local market. If you\’ve got a background in showrooms and you enjoy the buzz of helping people make decisions and getting deals over the line, then this is a great opportunity to build something that\’s truly yours.
