• Maintain accurate records of pipeline activity and sales forecasts

What We’re Looking For

• Confident, personable, and professional communicator
• Motivated by targets, incentives, and career progression
• Ability to work independently and manage your own territory
• Experience working towards KPIs or targets (sales or non-sales backgrounds considered)
• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• A proactive and resilient mindset with a strong work ethic

No prior sales or logistics experience is required—full training will be provided.
