Be part of something real
At SDL, you won’t be lost in a big corporate machine - you’ll join a friendly, supportive, family-run business where people look out for each other.
We’ve built our reputation over 47 years by treating customers well and taking care of our teams. When you join us, you become part of that family ethos from day one.
What you’ll be doing
This is a hands‑on role at the heart of our branch. You’ll be managing the customer database, offering a high level of customer service and ensuring that profit and growth of the branch is at the forefront of the business
If you enjoy building customer accounts, have an eye for data and analytics as well as a strong team player attitude then this role is for you

- Has a high level of leadership qualities
- Can pick up systems quickly
- Has an interest in cars/mechanics or previous experience in sales/advice work
- Stays calm under pressure
- Brings a positive, reliable, “team-first” attitude

Every new starter begins with our SDL Sales Academy, where you’ll learn everything you need to do the job with confidence. You’ll spend time at our Academy of Excellence in Clay Cross, meet the teams who support the branches, and get hands‑on product and systems training.
We promote people based on attitude and performance, not how long they’ve been here. For example:
- Jordan joined with no experience and is now a Branch Supervisor
- Hannah moved from retail and is now a Senior Sales Advisor
Your progression is genuinely in your hands.
