Patch: Middle England (East or West Midlands & Surrounding areas)

Salary & Benefits: £45,000 base + uncapped 25% commission + 10% bonus on selected products + company car

Are you a dynamic, commercially-driven sales professional ready to take ownership of your patch and make a real impact? We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to drive growth across Middle England, representing a leading international provider of access control, automation, and security solutions.

About the Company:

This is a highly respected, global business with a reputation for innovation, reliability, and technical excellence. They provide integrated security, locking, and automation solutions to commercial, residential, education, healthcare, and critical infrastructure sectors. With a broad portfolio of products and a focus on supporting partners, the company invests heavily in training, technical support, and marketing resources to help their teams and customers succeed.

The Opportunity:

• Manage a patch of 97 live accounts, currently spending £650k, with a target of £800k.
• Identify and win new business, build strong relationships, and re-engage dormant accounts.
• Influence specification and project decisions from early-stage design through completion.
• Represent the company at trade shows, networking events, and exhibitions.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams – sales, technical support, and marketing – to deliver seamless solutions.
• Maintain accurate pipeline and CRM records, reporting on KPIs and business objectives.

Who We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in business development, field sales, or technical sales.
• Strong self-starter who can generate leads independently.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience managing a full sales cycle from prospecting to closing.
• Full UK driving licence.

Desirable:

• Exposure to access control, electronic security, or low-voltage sectors.
• Existing relationships with installers, integrators, or distributors.
• Technical confidence to discuss product solutions.
• Familiarity with consultative or solution-based selling.

Flexibility Across Sectors:

While experience in electronic security is beneficial, the company welcomes candidates from similar sectors. We often see strong performers coming from engineering-led businesses or technical manufacturers, such as industrial automation, building technology, mechanical engineering, or electronics manufacturing. This broad approach ensures we attract candidates who can adapt quickly and bring transferable skills and insights to the role.

Why This Role is Exciting:

• Work with a broad, credible product portfolio, providing multiple routes into customers.
• Make a visible commercial impact, opening new accounts and strengthening market share.
• Join a company that invests in its people, providing training, marketing support, and resources.
• Take ownership in a growing international business, with autonomy to drive results.

If you’re a motivated, ambitious sales professional looking to grow accounts, work with innovative products, and make a real difference in a respected global company, this is the opportunity for you.
