Area Sales Manager – Carpets

Role

My client is looking for a high-energy, commercially sharp Area Sales Manager to take control of a live region covering Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and Durham. You will be selling a premium range of luxury wool carpets, eco-friendly underlays and high-performance synthetic ranges into independent retailers. This is a relationship-led role at its core, dealing directly with business owners, influencing product choice, increasing display space and driving real commercial growth. This is about presence, energy and impact. You will be visible in the market, spotting opportunities others miss, opening doors, and turning good accounts into great ones. There is a clear expectation to grow the territory and the autonomy to make it happen.

The Company

My client is a genuine market name with over 50 years of manufacturing heritage and a reputation built on quality. They produce premium, design-led carpets using high-grade materials combining traditional craftsmanship with ongoing investment in technology and innovation. Their wool ranges are particularly well regarded for feel and performance, giving you a product you can confidently put in front of any retailer. This is a business that backs its people, invests in its product and continues to evolve. They operate in a competitive space and consistently hold their own through quality, service and strong relationships across the independent retail sector.
