Business Development Manager; Contract Sales

Business Development Manager

Location - Manchester (Middleton) (Hybrid – Office & Field)

Salary - £40,000 + Commission + Car Allowance

Full-time | Monday to Friday

Every commercial property with dry risers, wet risers or sprinkler systems is legally required to have them inspected and maintained.

If they don’t — they’re non-compliant. It’s that simple.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to win new business, re-engage lapsed clients, and secure long-term service contracts across the UK. You’ll be helping organisations stay compliant, safe, and operational — while building a strong pipeline of recurring revenue.

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be out meeting clients, walking sites, and building relationships that turn into long-term contracts.

• Generating new business through outbound activity, networking and site visits

• Re-engaging lapsed customers and bringing them back on contract

• Conducting site surveys to understand systems and requirements

• Selling PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) contracts for:

  • Dry risers

  • Wet risers

  • Sprinkler systems

• Building long-term relationships with decision-makers

• Preparing and presenting tailored proposals

• Managing your pipeline using CRM and internal systems

• Working closely with operational teams to ensure smooth delivery

You’re not trying to convince someone they might need your service.

You’re speaking to businesses who already have a legal obligation — your job is to position us as the best partner to deliver it.

Let’s be clear – this role isn’t for everyone.

• Proven B2B sales background (ideally contract/services-based)

• Comfortable generating your own pipeline and working to targets

• Resilient – you don’t fall apart after a few knockbacks

• Strong work ethic – you’ll get out what you put in

• Confident dealing with clients face-to-face on-site

• Able to manage your own time and territory

• Full UK driving licence (essential)

Fire industry knowledge is helpful, but not essential – we’ll teach you that.

• £40,000 basic salary

• Commission structure with genuine earning potential

• Car or Car allowance

• 25 days holiday + bank hols

• Hybrid working (office + field)

• Life assurance (3 x salary)

• Pension (Salary sacrifice)

• Full product training and ongoing support

• Access to CRM systems and marketing tools to support your activity

• A role with real progression in a growing group of businesses
