About the Company

Our client is a rapidly growing product-led business supplying specialist equipment to the construction and civil engineering sectors. They are seeking a commercially minded and highly motivated Sales & Hire Executive to join their busy Stratford-upon-Avon depot.

This is a 100% office-based internal sales position, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. If you enjoy turning enquiries into orders, managing multiple systems at once, and speaking with customers throughout the day, this role offers a fantastic opportunity.

The Role

You will sit at the centre of day-to-day sales operations—handling inbound enquiries, generating accurate quotations, converting opportunities into confirmed orders, and supporting customers with hire and delivery coordination.

This is a hands‑on, transactional sales role focused on speed, accuracy and excellent service. It is not a field-based or strategic business development position, but you will contribute to wider sales initiatives and help grow the customer base.

Key Responsibilities

• Respond to inbound calls, emails and online enquiries throughout the day
• Prepare, issue and follow up hire and sales quotations efficiently and accurately
• Proactively chase quotes to maximise conversion
• Make outbound calls to existing customers and new prospects
• Support monthly sales and business development projects
• Process orders, hire contracts and client data using Sage and CRM systems
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date customer records and activity logs
• Work collaboratively with office, yard, transport and operations teams
• Assist with simple marketing tasks such as email campaigns and lead follow-up
• Provide holiday/absence cover across sales and operations, including:
  • Sales administration and order processing
  • Liaising with logistics and yard teams
  • Raising invoices and processing delivery paperwork
  • Handling incoming enquiries and orders

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Experience in Internal Sales, Hire Desk, Trade Counter or office-based B2B sales
• Confident communication skills and comfortable handling high call volumes
• Excellent organisation with strong accuracy and attention to detail
• High level of computer literacy with the ability to manage multiple systems
• Self‑motivated, commercially aware and results‑driven
• Comfortable working under pressure in a busy, transactional environment
• Proactive, flexible and supportive within a small team

Desirable

• Background in construction, plant hire or similar product-based environments
• Experience with HubSpot (or similar CRM), Outlook, Excel and Sage

What's on Offer

• Competitive base salary (DOE) + performance-based commission
• Full-time, permanent position
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm
• Office-based role in Stratford-upon-Avon
• Supportive team culture
• On-the-job training and long-term development opportunities
