No two days are the same. Your calendar could include breakfasts with customers, external events and supplier trade days, giving you real exposure to the trade from the start.

The Graduate Scheme is designed to build the next generation of managers. The company prefers to promote from within, so graduates who perform well have a clear route into management as a long-term goal.

What's in it for you

• Annual bonus with the company profit share scheme
• Extensive professional sales training and a personal development programme
• Real progression into external sales and leadership.
• Contributory pension, with auto-enrolment after 3 months

• Ambition to build a career in business-to-business sales
• A strong work ethic and a team player who'll muck in and do whatever the job needs
• Drive, initiative and a real willingness to learn every part of the business
• A full, clean UK driving licence
