Sales Director – Fabrication, Machining & Finishing

On behalf of our client, a successful and growing group of manufacturing businesses, we are seeking an experienced Sales Director to lead the sales and commercial function for a well-established fabrication, machining, and finishing business based in Walsall.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that has recently received significant investment and is firmly focused on its next phase of growth. As part of a wider group with genuine ambition, this role offers real scope to shape commercial strategy and make a lasting impact.

The Role

Reporting into the senior leadership team, you will take full ownership of the sales and commercial function, driving new business development while strengthening relationships with existing key accounts. You'll set and deliver the commercial strategy for the site, working closely with operations to ensure sales growth is matched by capacity and capability. This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring someone who can build, motivate, and develop a high-performing sales team, while also remaining close to the customer base and the wider market.

What Our Client Is Looking For

The successful candidate will have proven sales leadership experience gained within the manufacturing sector, with a strong track record of driving commercial growth. Experience within fabrication, machining, or finishing environments would be advantageous but is not essential — what matters most is a genuine understanding of manufacturing sales cycles and the ability to lead a commercial function with credibility and confidence. This role will be based on site in Walsall, so candidates should be comfortable working closely with the operational team day to day.

What's On Offer

A salary of £90,000, plus a company car and strong bonus potential, reflecting the seniority and impact of this role. Beyond the package, this is a chance to join a business with serious momentum — backed by recent investment and the support of a wider group with significant growth ambitions.

If you're a commercially driven sales leader from a manufacturing background looking for your next senior leadership challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
