Business Development Manager – Tapes & Adhesives

Role

This exciting position will be selling my clients range of adhesives and construction tapes used across a wide variety of applications across the Construction. The position is predominantly OEM-led, with responsibility for managing approximately 20 existing accounts, while also identifying and developing new business opportunities. Key market sectors include insulation and glazing, with an established customer base that includes leading manufacturers and installers within these areas. The role is home-based, covering the UK, and will involve regular travel and overnight stays.

Company

The business is a well-established UK manufacturer and supplier of specialist tapes, surface protection and adhesive solutions, serving construction, manufacturing, industrial and trade markets. They are recognised for their technical expertise, quality-driven approach, and long-term customer relationships.

Candidate

I am seeking a capable and commercially minded Area Sales Manager with experience in the construction sector and a solid understanding of how products are specified, sold and used on site.

Candidates are likely to come from backgrounds such as:

– Insulation or building envelope products

– Cladding or façade systems

– Adhesives, technical tapes or sealants

– Glazing or related construction products

Experience selling into OEM environments would be beneficial but is not essential. A candidate with an insulation-focused sales background would naturally understand how these products are applied in practice. This opportunity would suit an ambitious, developing sales professional who is looking to grow with a business and take ownership of a UK-wide territory. It is all about attitude, drive and commercial capability.

Key Requirements

– Proven B2B sales experience within construction-related markets

– Strong account management and new business development skills

– Comfortable with UK-wide travel and overnight stays

– Self-motivated, relationship-driven and commercially astute
