The Opportunity

Thompson & Terry Recruitment are working with a luxury clothing brand that create bespoke pieces for their clients. As a result of high demand, they are seeking to recruit a consultative salesperson who is passionate about building relationships through offering an amazing level of service, and has an interest in luxury fashion.

Whilst our client has an amazing reputation for their level of service and many of their clients are long‑standing, it is important that the successful candidate is hungry and driven to generate new business via various forms of proactive networking and sales techniques.

As every item of clothing is designed and made to order, it is important that the successful candidate genuinely enjoys getting to know every client and makes them feel completely comfortable from the initial conversation, when taking measurements right through to the point of creating the perfect piece.

As a Business Development Executive, you will feel confident to proactively network in order to win new business, whilst being motivated to really build your product knowledge, in order to be able to offer the best possible experience for every client.

The Company

Thompson & Terry Recruitment are working with a luxury clothing brand that create bespoke, made‑to‑order pieces for their clients. Our client has an excellent reputation for their designs but also their desire to make every customer feel really special. They go above and beyond to build their network with regular social events including trips to the Soho Farm House.

In exchange for your hard work, you will be rewarded with a genuine career path, which is evidenced within the current team, and lots of benefits including a clothing allowance.

Requirements

• Full UK driving licence, as you will regularly visit clients (you will get a car allowance)
• A track record of excelling within a relationship‑focused sales role, whilst being confident to win new business
• A genuine interest in fashion with the desire to work with clients to create the perfect piece for them
• Very well‑presented, articulate and confident engaging with high‑net‑worth individuals
