• Maintain accurate customer records, sales activity and orders within the CRM system.
• Follow up lapsed customers, missed orders and promotional opportunities.
• Work closely with Customer Service and Despatch to ensure customer orders and enquiries are handled efficiently.
• Monitor competitor activity, pricing and market trends, sharing insights with the sales team.
• Represent Fettayleh Foods at trade shows, industry events and customer activations.

You will ideally bring:

• 1–2 years' experience in sales, customer service, retail or hospitality.
• FMCG or food industry experience will be highly regarded.
• A genuine interest in food and willingness to learn about the smallgoods and meat category.
• Confident communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A positive, hands‑on attitude and willingness to get out into the field.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Outlook.
