Job Description

Job Title: Showroom Manager - Bathroom Showroom

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: Negitiable + Profit Share

Location: Plumbase Sidcup

About Us:

At Plumbase, we are part of the largest independent networks of plumbing and heating merchants in the UK - over 320 sites nationwide. Our sites are run by people who know their customers, their stock, and their local market. That's because we give them autonomy and ownership - not a one-size-fits-all script.

Job Overview:

We're looking for someone who can run this showroom with energy, initiative, and a commercial eye to join our Plumbase showroom in Sidcup - someone who understands that good design matters, but great relationships and follow-through are what drive results. You'll guide customers through their journey from first enquiry to final order, while also taking a proactive role in building relationships with local installers, developing repeat business, and keeping the showroom front-of-mind with both trade and retail customers.

You'll have the freedom to shape your space, tailor your approach, and trade in a way that works for your local market. If you've got a background in showrooms and you enjoy the buzz of helping people make decisions and getting deals over the line, then this is a great opportunity to build something that's truly yours.

Running day-to-day operations of the bathroom showroom

Leading and coaching Business Development Managers / Bathroom Designers to drive sales and service

Developing trade and retail customer relationships

Owning local marketing and driving repeat business

Maintaining a showroom that inspires - layout, merchandising, displays
