Retail Sales Representative - Windows, Doors & Conservatories

Join the established sales team at Turkington Windows & Conservatories as a customer-focused Sales Representative. This is an excellent opportunity to help grow our domestic windows, doors, and conservatories business across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. You will be a key part of the customer's journey, guiding them from their initial enquiry right through to the successful completion of their order.

Reporting to the Sales & Marketing Manager, you will work closely with our operations team to ensure every customer receives a professional, knowledgeable, and enjoyable buying experience. Your role will involve meeting customers in their homes and our showrooms, understanding their unique requirements, and recommending the perfect home improvement solutions.

Key responsibilities include:
