You will also receive five weeks' holiday plus bank holidays, healthcare, free onsite parking and a 3.30pm finish every Friday. There is no Saturday working, so your weekends remain your own.
The role:
- Take responsibility for the day to day performance of the Leeds branch and lead a small, experienced team of two Branch Assistants.
- Build strong relationships with existing customers, attract new trade business and ensure every customer receives knowledgeable, reliable and friendly service.
- Be visible in the branch, supporting customers, preparing quotations, processing orders and helping the team keep operations running smoothly.
