Are you a "Grade A" Business Developer looking for a career-defining move with capital equipment sales experience? Our client is an extremely well-established manufacturer of capital equipment for the food production sector. With remarkably low staff attrition, vacancies here are rare. However, following the appointment of a dynamic new leadership team, the company is entering a phase of significant ambition and change and is looking for a high-energy, entrepreneurial solution seller to help drive this new chapter of growth.

In Return, You Will Receive

High performance is rewarded with a blue-chip benefits package that includes:
£55,000 Basic Salary with a realistic £85,000 OTE.
25 Days Annual Leave from Day One + Bank Holidays + Christmas Shutdown.
Above-average pension, Life Assurance, and Private Health cover.

Why Join as the Business Development Manager, Capital Equipment?

This is not a role for a caretaker; it is a role for a business builder. While the position is 40% account management, your primary focus and DNA must be Business Development.
You will sell high-value capital equipment solutions directly to end users (food manufacturers) and to third-party integrators. You will be supported by a highly skilled technical team, allowing you to focus on what you do best: opening doors, building pipelines, and closing deals.
Why Join as a Business Development Manager?
Join a very secure business with a start‑up mentality regarding growth.
We are looking for someone who wants to "run their own business within a business."
With new leadership comes new opportunity; excel here, and the future path is wide open.

The Role of Business Development Manager, Capital Equipment

Managing a large pipeline and conducting a high volume of face-to-face meetings across the region.
Moving beyond price wars to sell on unique features, benefits, and ROI.
Explaining features and applications in technical demonstrations with confidence (supported by technical experts for the heavy lifting).
Utilising exceptional business acumen to gain market share and expand sales.

What is Required to Apply to the Role of Business Development Manager, Capital Equipment

We are looking for a Solution Salesperson with a "sponge-like" capacity to absorb complex product knowledge. You don't need to be an engineer, but you must be technically astute.
A proven track record in Capital Equipment Sales is essential. Experience selling into food production is a significant plus.
You are unapologetically ambitious, motivated by earning potential, and genuinely driven to hunt for new business.
A "Challenger" salesperson who is fast-paced, accountable, and grounded. You are a naturally cheerful person who brings energy to the room.
Of graduate calibre with strong CRM discipline and a history of exceeding targets.
If you have a track record in capital equipment and the hunger to drive new business, apply now to join a winning team.
