Showroom Manager (Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms) | Potential Future Franchise Owner Opportunity
Location: Taunton
Competitive Salary + Bonus + Clear Franchise Ownership Path with no upfront investment
Base salary: £35 k (OTE £50 k)
Are you a commercially driven leader ready to build something of your own?
We're looking for an ambitious Showroom Manager (Retail & Operations Manager) with a strong commercial mindset and a passion for driving business growth.
Whilst experience within the Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom (KBB) sector would be highly advantageous, we're equally interested in speaking with commercially minded professionals from retail, home improvement, interiors, construction, property, or other customer-focused sectors.
This is more than a showroom/retail management role. It's an opportunity for a talented business leader to develop their career towards owning and operating their own franchise business, supported by an established and growing brand.
If you're motivated by sales, people leadership, customer experience and business growth - and ultimately aspire to run your own business - we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading the day-to-day operation and growth of a thriving showroom business.
- Managing and developing a high-performing sales team.
- Driving revenue, margin, and overall showroom profitability.
- Delivering an exceptional customer experience from enquiry through to completion.
- Building relationships with homeowners, developers, designers, and trade professionals.
- Managing showroom performance through KPIs, forecasting, and commercial reporting.
- Identifying local business development opportunities to increase market share.
- Working closely with installation and operational teams to ensure seamless project delivery.
- Developing the leadership, commercial, and operational skills required for future franchise ownership.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Strong commercial, sales, or business management experience.
- A proven track record of driving revenue growth and business performance.
- Experience leading teams within a customer-facing environment.
- Strong understanding of sales pipelines, conversion metrics, and business development.
- Excellent communication, influencing, and relationship-building skills.
- A commercially astute, entrepreneurial mindset with aspirations towards business ownership.
Desirable:
- Experience within the Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom (KBB) sector.
- Retail showroom, home improvement, interiors, or property-related experience.
- Previous P&L responsibility.
- Franchise, independent business, or entrepreneurial experience.
- Knowledge of project management and installation processes.
Why Join Us?
· Competitive salary and performance-related bonus.
· Structured and supported pathway towards franchise ownership with no up-front investment.
· Industry-leading training, coaching, and business mentoring.
· Opportunity to build and grow your own team.
· Join a growing brand with ambitious expansion plans.
· Genuine progression from employed leader to business owner.
Who This Role Would Suit
This opportunity is ideal for a Showroom Manager, Branch Manager, General Manager, Sales Manager, Commercial Manager, Retail Manager, Business Development Manager, or Store Manager who is looking for more than just their next role.
Whether you come from the KBB industry, home improvement, retail, interiors, property, or another commercially focused sector, you'll be excited by the opportunity to take ownership, drive growth, and ultimately build a business of your own.
