About Us

We're a growing SME with big ambitions and a clear sense of purpose.

Innovation isn't just a buzzword here; it's what moves us forward. We've built a reputation for quality, service, and reliability across multiple industries, but we're hungry to go further.

We work hard, back each other, and take pride in what we build. Our customers trust us because we listen, adapt, and deliver. Now, we're looking for someone who can help us strengthen what we already do well — and shape what comes next.

The Role

We're hiring an Account Manager, someone with curiosity, drive, and a head full of ideas.

This isn't a traditional sales job. Yes, you'll lead our internal sales team and be accountable for results, but you'll also play a key role in shaping how we sell, what we sell, and where we grow next.

You'll bring together sales, strategy, and innovation helping us spot opportunities, streamline systems, and turn ideas into reality. If you thrive in an environment that's evolving fast and value seeing your ideas make a visible difference, you'll love it here.

What You'll Do

• Lead, motivate, and develop our internal sales team by setting clear goals and creating a culture of performance and pride.
• Strengthen relationships with existing customers, helping them grow with us and making sure we're always their first call.
• Reignite and develop opportunities within our warm, historical database of loyal customers, there's a solid foundation here waiting to be built on.
• Champion innovation across the business expanding product ideas.
• Track market trends, shifts in customer needs, and emerging tech that could open new doors.
• Work closely with the senior leadership team to bring fresh ideas from concept to launch.

What We're Looking For

• A confident, commercially minded sales or account management professional who's excited by innovation and improvement.
• A natural leader who can inspire a team, build trust, and make things happen.
• Someone curious, proactive, and always looking for better ways to do things.
• A genuine communicator who is open, engaging, and full of energy.

Why You'll Love It Here

You'll be part of a close-knit, ambitious team where ideas count and innovation is part of everyday life.

This is a chance to put your stamp on something and to drive growth, influence direction, and see your work shape the future of our business. You'll have the freedom to build on existing relationships while driving new ideas forward.

If you're passionate about looking after customers, driving innovation, and helping a growing company reach its full potential, we'd love to hear from you.
