This well-established and respected horticultural supplier is looking for a new Area Sales Manager to join their team and drive growth across the South East region.

• You'll work from home and be out in the field, so being based in the East of England is essential.

• A proven track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets.
• A self-motivated, driven attitude with a passion for delivering excellent customer service.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to spot and act on opportunities.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
