About the Company

A well-established UK-based manufacturing and branding business specialising in custom printing, embroidery, and offshore sourcing for retail and trade clients.

Operating from a modern West Midlands facility, the company delivers a wide range of branded merchandise and works closely with international partners to meet customer requirements efficiently and to a high standard.

The environment is hands‑on, fast‑paced, and collaborative, where reliability, ownership, and attention to detail are essential. The business is now seeking a proactive Business Support Executive to work closely with the Managing Director and help coordinate the smooth day‑to‑day execution of work across the company.

The Role

This is a high‑trust, high‑responsibility position, providing direct, day‑to‑day support to the Managing Director.

As the Business Support Executive, you will work directly with the Managing Director to coordinate the daily flow of activity between customers, suppliers, and internal teams. You will manage the MD's inbox, support quoting and supplier coordination, and ensure that orders, tasks, and projects are followed through from start to finish.

A key part of this role is task and project coordination. You will actively track actions, follow up with stakeholders, manage priorities, and ensure deadlines are met.

This role requires a high level of initiative and personal ownership. The successful candidate will be comfortable making progress independently, using context and judgement rather than waiting for detailed instruction.

This is a varied, hands‑on role suited to someone who enjoys responsibility, thrives on keeping things organised, and is driven to see tasks through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

Email & Communication Management

Manage and prioritise the MD's inbox, responding to customer, supplier, and internal emails where appropriate
Act as a central communication point between the MD and Sales, Admin, Marketing, and Warehouse teams
Handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion at all times

Quoting & Supplier Support

Prepare and issue customer quotes using internal pricing structures and offshore calculators
Liaise with UK and international suppliers to obtain pricing, confirm production details, and track shipments
Support Sales with costings and supplier correspondence

Order & Supplier Coordination

Process and monitor offshore orders from placement through to delivery
Raise and update purchase orders in our management system and ensure supplier invoices are correctly recorded
Proactively chase order progress and delivery dates, communicating updates internally

Task & Project Coordination

Track tasks, actions, and decisions arising from emails, meetings, and ongoing work
Maintain task and project boards (e.g. (url removed)) to ensure visibility, accountability, and progress
Follow up on actions, flag risks early, and elevate issues where needed to avoid delays
Identify gaps and ensure outstanding actions are completed without delay

Reporting & Business Support

Update and maintain weekly business metrics and sales reports
Keep records, trackers, and shared folders accurate and up to date
Support recruitment administration, meeting organisation, and note‑taking when required
Assist with improving processes and ways of working to help the business operate more efficiently

About You

You will be a proactive, highly organised professional who thrives in a busy, dynamic environment.

You are comfortable working independently, switching between detail‑heavy admin and fast‑moving communication, and taking ownership of tasks from start to finish. You naturally think in terms of priorities, actions, and follow‑ups, and are driven to see things through to completion.
