With a client base of over 500 organisations—including schools, offices, healthcare, and leisure facilities—we have built a reputation for reliability, attention to detail, and outstanding customer care.

• Respond promptly to inbound leads, qualifying opportunities and arranging appointments.

• Negotiate pricing and handle objections effectively.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with prospective clients to maximise conversion rates.

Candidate Profile

Essential Experience & Skills:

• Proven track record in direct B2B sales—ideally within the cleaning, FM, or associated sectors.
• Experience generating annual contract values of £1.5M or more.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to prospect and secure new business.
• Self-motivated with a results-driven mindset and “hunter” mentality.
• Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Experience selling into education and/or healthcare sectors (training will be provided if required).

What We Offer

• A pivotal role within a growing company with excellent development prospects.
• A supportive, team-oriented culture focused on personal and professional growth.
