Business Development Manager

Grow your Career with us

Wilson & Bradley is a family owned and operated company servicing and supplying the kitchen, cabinet making, and furniture manufacturing industries with quality hardware since 1976.

Since first opening our doors, Wilson & Bradley have grown to become a national business, including branches in nearly every state including a retail sector which supplies Bunnings stores across the country and we continue to expand to meet the growing needs of our very large customer base. 

Being a family run company has allowed us to gain the reputation of a level of service other large companies simply cannot compete with as well as foster a company culture that values and looks after our employees.

Are you looking for an advancement in your Customer Service and Sales career? Are you keen to get off the "shop floor" and get on the road in a fully funded company vehicle to visit customers and manage your own day? If you're ready to join a close-knit sales team and take that next step, then our Business Development Manager role might be the role for you

Experience in the cabinet making industry would be advantageous, but not essential for this role as comprehensive training will be offered to the right candidate that demonstrates the drive and attitude that makes a good salesperson.
