Our client specialises in designing, supplying, and installing frameless glass balcony systems (balconies, balustrades, Juliet-balconies, glass railings, etc.) for residential and commercial properties.

• Generate new business via proactive outreach: cold‑calling, emailing, networking, attending industry events, site visits, and meetings.
• Prepare and present quotations, proposals, and product / service packages tailored to client requirements (balcony size, glass type, fixings, installation, compliance).
• Work with internal teams (design, technical, installation) to ensure accurate project specs and smooth handover from sale to installation.
• Visit client sites when required, measure, survey, discuss options, inspect existing structures – sometimes personally or coordinate with technical team.

• On‑the-job training and support: product knowledge, technical training about glazing & balcony systems, customer handling & sales training, guidance towards more senior roles.
• Career progression: opportunity for high‑performing junior sales execs to grow quickly into account management or sales manager roles, taking on responsibility for larger clients / territories.
• Travel support: company mileage allowance or vehicle / travel expenses covered (since role requires UK‑wide travel).
• Flexible working: balance between office / home-based admin / quote work and client‑facing field visits & site meetings.

Why This Role Matters

This is an excellent opportunity for a hungry, ambitious individual looking to build a long-term career in sales within the construction / glazing industry.
