Stancold UK is seeking a commercially focused and proactive Business Development Manager to drive growth across our Firewalls and Industrial Partitions divisions. This role combines new business generation with strategic account management, supporting our continued expansion within the construction, food manufacturing, logistics, and industrial sectors.

Key responsibilities include managing and developing customer accounts, maintaining and updating CRM records, and preparing drawing mark-ups and quotation information for the estimating team. The role involves reporting to the Sales Director, conducting regular client calls and visits, undertaking site surveys, and delivering presentations to prospective clients. You will collaborate closely with the marketing team to develop new markets and work alongside construction delivery teams to ensure projects are successfully secured and delivered. This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected specialist contractor with ambitious growth plans and a strong industry reputation
