Parts & Retail Manager

Exciting Opportunity to Lead a Growing Team!

Are you a motivated and hands-on professional looking to take the next step in your career? We are seeking a Parts & Retail Manager to lead our client’s busy parts department. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive, collaborative team that prides itself on delivering exceptional service to customers and colleagues alike.

Whether your background is in trade counter, HGV, plant, or retail, if you have strong leadership skills and a passion for customer service, we want to hear from you!

About the Role

Reporting to the Branch & Sales Manager, you will take ownership of the day-to-day running of the Parts Department, including the showroom and goods inward area. You’ll manage stock, oversee staff, drive departmental profitability, and ensure clear and professional communication with customers, key accounts, and internal teams such as Sales and Service.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading and managing the Parts Department, including showroom, warehouse, and staff.
  • Maintaining excellent communication with customers, trade partners, and internal teams.
  • Overseeing stock, goods inward, and inventory control.
  • Driving departmental profitability and achieving targets.
  • Supporting Sales, Service, and key account operations.
  • Promoting a professional, customer-focused environment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience in parts, trade counter, HGV, or plant operations is highly welcome.
  • Management or supervisory experience is desirable but not essential.
  • Strong communication skills and a professional approach with customers and colleagues.
  • Ability to multitask, work under pressure, and prioritise competing demands.
  • Highly organised, proactive, and methodical in your approach.
  • Comfortable handling confidential information with discretion.
  • Self-motivated, reliable, and confident working independently.
  • Good IT skills and strong attention to detail.

Knowledge of agricultural, construction, or groundcare products and parts is a bonus, but enthusiasm, leadership, and a customer-first mindset are equally important.
Benefits

  • 32 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
  • Company sick pay
  • Workplace pension
  • Winter flu jab service
  • Staff discounts
  • Life assurance cover

This version is more inviting and dynamic, emphasises that multiple backgrounds are welcome, and highlights the hands-on, leadership, and customer-focused aspects of the role.

Trying to find a new job is challenging and at times overwhelming - most applications seem to go into the ether. Having applied for a job via Kemp Recruitment, I spoke with Shane who was able to give me an overview of the position. He kept me updated and was really positive and encouraging, - just what you need before an interview. I've been successful with an offer of the job, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Shane

Kemp Recruitment couldn’t have been more helpful in securing me a new job as a service engineer. After a quick phone call to understand what I was looking for, Rob and Dave had me an interview secured the following morning. Both Rob and Dave were very attentive throughout the whole process making it as painless as possible. Can’t thank Rob and Dave enough for their best efforts and support.
