We're looking for a Sales Assistant to join our team at The Timber Group in Poole!

We are an ambitious company and our people reflect that, we strive to always do things better tomorrow than we did today so we can be the first choice for our customers and our colleagues who want a winning place to work. We are a company where people are recognised, remembered, and respected. In return it’s our people who earn the trust of our customers, their colleagues and our communities alike. Our loyal customer base is built on strong relationships which have been developed because our colleagues listen to their needs, exceed their expectations and send them home happy.

As a Sales Person, you will play a key role in the sale of our full range of products therefore previous sales experience in a similar role within a similar environment is desirable. Working in one of our branches you’ll be part of a team where everyone is putting the effort in to offer brilliant customer service and to get the job done.

Here’s what you can expect to do as an Sales Person with The Timber Group:

• Serving our customers’ needs in a safe and professional manner
• Maintaining a high standard of health and safety on sites and in branches
• Be one of the faces of The Timber Group and help create great customer service
• Create a close working relationship with your team
• Responsible for your own internal customer ledger, previous experience managing a ledger is an advantage
• Build relationships with our key suppliers
• Handle customer orders and enquiries daily

We realise that you are more than just a CV and embracing everyone’s individuality is what makes us great as a team. We can give you plenty of training and equip you with the tools that you’ll need to succeed as an Internal Sales Person but you will need to be someone who’s self-motivated, enthusiastic, flexible, reliable and ambitious.

We know you’re thinking ‘this sounds great, but what’s in it for me?’ Let us tell you:

• 23 days annual leave, plus bank holidays
• Company performance bonus scheme
• A contributory pension scheme
• Company funded Life Assurance
• A generous colleague discount scheme
• A range of training and development programmes to help you progress your career

If you’re in the trade or have ever tackled a home improvement project, you’ve probably heard of us. We’re the Huws Gray Group and we’re made up of a number of brands, including Huws Gray, Huws Gray Plant & Tool Hire, Civils & Lintels, The Timber Group, PDM, NDI and Anglia Tool Centre to name a few. Up and down the UK, our branches are serving and supporting our local communities with all their building material needs, but we couldn’t do this without the right people, so why not join us?
