At Fire Safe Services, we believe there's more to a person than a job title. Titles can be misleading and often don’t reflect the depth of skills or real-world experience an individual brings. That’s why we focus on the person behind the CV — those who can demonstrate capability, drive, and a passion for what they do. You don’t need to tick every box; if you can confidently speak to some of the expertise we’re looking for, we’d love to hear your story. We value talent, even when it comes from a non-traditional path.
What sets us apart? We truly invest in our people. While many companies talk about growth, we’ve already achieved significant milestones — and we’re just getting started. Join us on our journey and be part of a team that recognises and nurtures potential. Let’s start the conversation.
We’re currently looking for a Business Development Manager to join our growing team, ideally located within a commutable distance of Bromsgrove. In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in expanding our reach within targeted sectors such as Facilities Management, housing, and end-user markets — promoting our industry-leading Fire & Security maintenance services.
What’s in it for you?
We’re offering a competitive starting salary of £40,000–£50,000 per annum, depending on your industry experience, with a realistic on-target earnings potential of up to £60,000. You’ll also enjoy 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays — and because we think birthdays should be celebrated properly, you’ll get that day off too. We offer a standard pension scheme, and to support you on the road, you’ll have the choice of a company car or a car allowance — whichever works best for you. While we value in-person collaboration with at least two days a week in our Bromsgrove office, we also appreciate the benefits of hybrid working and offer flexibility accordingly.
Here’s a look at some of the things you’ll be doing:
Develop and maintain strong client relationships with existing maintenance accounts, ensuring service satisfaction while cross-selling additional offerings to increase revenue and client retention
Drive new business opportunities across targeted sectors such as Facilities Management (FM), Housing, and end-user markets through direct sales activity and strategic networking
Manage and coordinate third-party remedial works, particularly for fire doors and fire-stopping systems, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and timely project execution
Collaborate closely with internal operational teams to monitor service delivery performance, proactively resolve issues, and ensure that account expectations and margin targets are consistently met or exceededCan you show experience in some of these areas:
Proven sales experience in fire and security systems, with a strong emphasis on maintenance contracts and services across commercial and/or residential sectors
In-depth knowledge of British Standards applicable to fire safety maintenance (e.g., BS 5839, BS 5266) and familiarity with SFG20 standards relevant to FM service providers
Understanding of fire door inspection and compartmentation principles, with the ability to identify compliance needs and remedial opportunities within customer premises
Track record of achieving or exceeding revenue targets, ideally with experience managing a sales pipeline exceeding £200k annually
