Marley is the UK’s leading roofing manufacturer, pioneering the first fully warranted roof system and a fully integrated solar energy solution. Founded in 1924 and with over 500 colleagues, we’ve joined forces with Marshalls plc, the UK’s leading manufacturer of hard landscaping bringing two strong heritages together!
As market leaders and innovators in our sector, at Marley we’re invested in both our evolution and our people. We have an unrivalled offering of products and a passionate sales force. It’s within this successful team at Marley, that we are recruiting for an Area Sales Manager to cover Leicestershire, Northants, Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire due to an internal promotion.
So, what’s my mission?
With training and support, you’ll have full autonomy to sell solutions, add value and utilise our innovative products, all under our trusted brand.

With your passion for sales and experience with specification you’ll be able to run the patch almost like your own business and develop profitable relationships.

Once specification opportunities have been established you’ll negotiate, develop, and implement specific business plans to achieve regional sales targets. You’ll be responsible for the promotion of early pre-tender engagement, and you’ll prepare and present project related value propositions and solutions. The job will include attending regular meetings across your region, and the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and yearly forecasts to support with planning.
We’re ready for you to challenge our expectations, showcase your entrepreneurial skills and really create a space for yourself where you can improve on what’s already in place!
