Area Sales Manager – UK South

£40‑48K base + £15K forecasted OTE + car / allowance

Join a leading UK manufacturer breaking new ground

Shape your own region and build long-term growth

We’re partnering with a well‑established UK manufacturer of security and access control solutions, supplying high‑quality gates, barriers, turnstiles, bollards and service contracts. Their products are trusted across sectors including commercial sites, critical infrastructure, construction, stadiums, and public‑sector environments.

The client has been operating for over 20 years and has a very strong reputation. They have a loyal customer base, a secure foundation to grow and an aspirational leadership team who want to take the company to the next level.

With ongoing expansion and major frameworks developing, the business is now hiring two Area Sales Managers – one covering the Midlands and one covering the South. These are growth roles focused on winning new business and establishing long‑term regional presence.

This is a proactive, self‑generating sales position suited to someone who thrives on building opportunities from scratch. You’ll be speaking with engineering, FM and security decision‑makers, identifying technical challenges, and positioning tailored solutions.

You’ll cover the UK Midlands territory working remotely and will plan your own schedule. You’ll travel to meet customers that you generate opportunities with and manage the pipeline through to close.

You’ll retain relationships for the future and become the account manager of any accounts that win. With time you’ll build a profitable and successful account patch.
