Business Development Manager (Contract Sales)
Drive new business in a market where demand is guaranteed. Sell essential fire safety services, secure long-term contracts, and build a strong, sustainable pipeline.
Business Development Manager
Location - Manchester (Middleton) (Hybrid – Office & Field)
Salary - £40,000 + Commission + Car Allowance
Full-time | Monday to Friday
Sell something businesses can’t afford to ignore.
Every commercial property with dry risers, wet risers or sprinkler systems is legally required to have them inspected and maintained.
If they don’t — they’re non-compliant. It’s that simple.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to win new business, re-engage lapsed clients, and secure long-term service contracts across the UK. You’ll be helping organisations stay compliant, safe, and operational — while building a strong pipeline of recurring revenue.
The Role
This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be out meeting clients, walking sites, and building relationships that turn into long-term contracts.
Generating new business through outbound activity, networking and site visits
Re-engaging lapsed customers and bringing them back on contract
Conducting site surveys to understand systems and requirements
Selling PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) contracts for:
Dry risers
Wet risers
Sprinkler systems
Building long-term relationships with decision-makers
Preparing and presenting tailored proposals
Managing your pipeline using CRM and internal systems
Working closely with operational teams to ensure smooth delivery
Why this role works
You’re not trying to convince someone they might need your service.
You’re speaking to businesses who already have a legal obligation — your job is to position us as the best partner to deliver it.
What We’re Looking For
Let’s be clear – this role isn’t for everyone.
Proven B2B sales background (ideally contract/services-based)
Comfortable generating your own pipeline and working to targets
Resilient – you don’t fall apart after a few knockbacks
Strong work ethic – you’ll get out what you put in
Confident dealing with clients face-to-face on-site
Able to manage your own time and territory
Full UK driving licence (essential)
Fire industry knowledge is helpful, but not essential – we’ll teach you that.
What You’ll Get
£40,000 basic salary
Commission structure with genuine earning potential
Car or Car allowance
25 days holiday + bank hols
Hybrid working (office + field)
Life assurance (3 x salary)
Pension (Salary sacrifice)
Full product training and ongoing support
Access to CRM systems and marketing tools to support your activity
A role with real progression in a growing group of businesses
