The company
At Corston Architectural Detail, everything we do is about taking the stress out of renovations. Our collections of switches and sockets, hardware and lighting are designed to coordinate effortlessly.

- Introduce Corston to interested new Trade customers and set up Trade applications
- Build long-lasting relationships with Trade customers by making sure their experience is the best it can possibly be
Your skills, qualities and experience
- Outstanding Italian communication skills, both over the phone and in writing
- A thorough understanding of the local industry and the routes into market, experience of working with fit-out businesses, and a good black book of relevant contacts

- Ability to spot trends and communicate these to the UK Product Team to help with future product development
- Experience of outbound sales – proactively making contact with potential customers
- Excellent IT skills and the ability to navigate between various systems
- Be highly task and KPI driven
What you can expect from us
- Full training will be provided on the brand, product and systems
