Showroom Manager

Showroom Sales Manager - Farnborough

We’re Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, part of the Travis Perkins family since 2006. We’re all about delivering stylish, high-quality kitchens that cater to all tastes and budgets. With over 150 branches and showrooms, we offer top-tier appliances, worktops, and joinery from leading brands.

We work closely with installers to design and deliver ready-assembled kitchens that truly inspire our customers. We’re a team that values collaboration, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and we’re always looking for passionate people to join us on our journey.

What You’ll Be Doing

As the Manager of our one-year old Benchmarx showroom in Farnborough, you'll lead your team to surpass their sales targets, drive profitability, and ensure your branch stands out as a top performer in the region. You’ll oversee the showroom’s sales and purchasing, staying ahead of local market trends to remain competitive. With your expert leadership, you’ll manage resources, address challenges, and ensure everything runs smoothly while maintaining high company standards. It’s about driving results, leading by example, and ensuring your team remains on track!

As Showroom Manager, you'll lead by example as you regularly leave the office to visit our customers on site, therefore a full UK driving licence is essential for success in this role.
