We have built an enviable reputation delivering bespoke fireplace solutions into some of the most impressive residential and commercial properties in the UK. Our projects range from luxury private homes through to hospitality and prestigious commercial environments. The business has a strong heritage, an established reputation and a growing pipeline of opportunities.

What we're looking for now is somebody who can help take that growth even further. Not somebody who waits, somebody who gets involved.

Most people would describe this as a sales role. They're wrong! Yes, there is sales involved. But if you're purely a salesperson waiting for enquiries to arrive and customers to walk through the door, this probably isn't for you. Because the reality is very different. This is a role built around projects, relationships, commercial awareness and ownership.

One day you could be in the showroom discussing a luxury residential project worth £75,000. The next you're meeting an architect, contractor or developer to understand what they're working on and where you can add value.

This is about becoming part of the project long before an order is placed, and that means understanding people, drawings, specifications, time lines, budgets and construction projects—not just products.

This Business Development / Contracts Manager role sits right in the middle of sales, project management and stakeholder engagement. One project alone could involve a homeowner, an architect, an interior designer, a contractor, a project manager, our installation team, and they all have different priorities - your job is to bring it all together.

You’ll manage opportunities from first enquiry through to project award, working with multiple stakeholders to ensure projects move forward commercially and successfully.

This isn't transactional selling, it's consultative, it's project-led and ultimately, it's about helping clients deliver exceptional spaces.
