Job Description

A busy and fast paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression - join BSS as a Branch Apprentice and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.

The role:

You\'ll work within the branch Sales Team, dealing directly with customers to maximise sales at every opportunity, working to expand our customer base by helping to identify and develop new accounts. On a day-to-day basis you will be handling customer orders and enquiries by phone and email on a frequent basis. Most of our customers are regulars, so you will build up friendly relationships by giving great customer service which will encourage repeat business. You will communicate with the team and suppliers to ensure a smooth transaction for the customer from start to finish, making sure their order is delivered on time and in full. You will also be involved in face to face customer service on the trade counter.

What we are looking for:

Ideally, you will have previous experience in a similar phone-based sales role with great customer service skills and the ability to build relationships with a diverse range of customers and colleagues. You will be self-motivated, enthusiastic and organised, with good numerical and computer skills. As part of this role, you will be enrolled on one of our industry-leading apprenticeship programmes, bringing you up to speed with anything and everything related to our business, products and customers.
