Regional Directors - B2B Multi-site Distribution
Three opportunities across the North West North East and South West
Can you improve the performance of a regional branch network by developing the people who lead it?
Wilson Brook is partnering with a substantial building materials and trade distribution group to appoint three Regional Directors. These appointments form part of a wider programme to strengthen leadership, improve commercial performance and bring greater consistency to a network of customer facing branches.
Each role offers responsibility for a significant region, reporting to a Divisional Managing Director and leading Branch Managers. You will shape regional priorities, improve sales and margin, control costs and build management capability in a business that is investing in how it operates.
The opportunity
This is a demanding environment with substantial scope to make a difference. You will use financial and operational information to focus attention where it matters, coach managers to take ownership and ensure that improvements translate into better outcomes for customers and colleagues.
You will work across sales and specialist functions, balancing local commercial judgement with group standards. The regional priorities vary, from developing an established team to bringing new managers together and realising a larger performance improvement opportunity.
What you will bring
- Proven leadership across multiple branches or sites, with regional P&L responsibility and measurable commercial results.
- The ability to develop managers, address underperformance and build effective teams across a dispersed territory.
- Sound financial judgement and evidence of improving sales, margin, productivity and controllable costs.
- Experience implementing change, collaborating with central teams and delivering within clear operating frameworks.
- Energy, resilience and practical judgement, with the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast moving business.
Builders' merchanting and specialist trade distribution experience will be valuable. We also welcome relevant backgrounds in other B2B branch networks or trade retail where candidates can demonstrate comparable commercial responsibility and established multi-site leadership.
You should live within, or within practical travelling distance of, the relevant region. Regular branch engagement and effective remote management will both be important.
