Summary

Location: Southampton & South Coast (Field-Based)
Salary: £30,000 – £40,000 Base (DOE) + Car/Allowance + Fuel Card
Package: Profit Share + Regular Team Events + Closed for Christmas

The Mission
Reform Electrical Distributors isn’t your average wholesaler. We are a fast-growing independent powerhouse in Southampton that wins by being better, faster, and more down-to-earth than the national chains. We recently hit our first £1m sales month, and we aren’t slowing down.
We are looking for a Business Development Executive who is ready to move past the "desk-bound" grind and take ownership of the South Coast territory.

The Opportunity: Direct Impact & Autonomy
You won’t be a cog in a corporate machine or buried in a classroom. You will work directly with the Company Directors to implement our sales strategy. We aren't here to hold your hand; we’re here to give you the tools, the trust, and the freedom to get out there and make things happen. This is a "learn by doing" environment where your results speak for themselves.

The Day-to-Day
This is a high-visibility, relationship-driven role. You’ll be out of the office 3–4 days a week, "planting seeds" and securing wins.
• In the Field (75%): Visiting sites, meeting contractors, and reviving dormant accounts. You’re there to build trust and show them why Reform is the best in the business.
• In the Branch (25%): Collaboration is key. You’ll work with our internal sales team to turn your leads into orders and ensure our service remains unbeatable.

Who You Are
We hire for character and drive. You are the right fit if:
• You are Resilient: You have the thick skin required for sales and the positivity to keep going until you get the "yes."
• You are Relatable: You can walk onto a building site or into a boardroom and hold a genuine, professional conversation.
• You are a Builder: You’re looking for a career launchpad where your hard work directly impacts the company’s profit share.
• Essential: Full UK Driving Licence.

Why Reform?
• High Standards, Great Banter: We work hard, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. You’ll join a team that actually enjoys working together.
• Growth & Promotion: As we grow, you grow. We are looking for our future leaders.
• The Perks: A competitive base, a car (or allowance), profit sharing, and we close every Christmas so you can enjoy the break.

Ready to join the team?
If you’re enthusiastic, driven, and ready to get on the road with a company that values your impact, apply today.
