Love building relationships and talking plants?

Looking for a role where your ideas are valued, and your work makes a difference?

Want to join a friendly, down-to-earth team in a growing horticultural business?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, family‑run trade nursery supplying trees, shrubs, and perennials to the landscaping and construction industries.

With over 30 acres of production, they combine UK and European sourcing with in‑house growing to deliver top‑quality plants to a wide range of clients - from local landscapers and designers to national contractors and housebuilders.

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary (DOE)
• Supportive, family‑run environment with a business that values initiative and teamwork - not rigid KPIs.
• Real autonomy and the chance to make an impact.
• A varied role covering sales, customer relationships, and plant advice.
• Collaborative culture - everyone pitches in when needed.
• Opportunities to grow your career as the business expands.

The Role

This is a brand‑new position, created to support continued growth and strengthen customer relationships.
You'll be the link between customers, suppliers, and the nursery team - managing existing accounts while helping develop new business opportunities.

Day to day, you'll:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with both new and existing trade customers.
• Handle enquiries, prepare quotations, and follow up on orders.
• Advise on plant availability, specifications, and suitable alternatives.
• Identify and develop new customer relationships across the trade landscape sector.
• Work closely with the nursery and operations teams to ensure smooth order flow.
• Coordinate with suppliers and logistics to meet customer deadlines.
• Get involved in marketing activity - from promotions to social media updates.
• Help maintain stock awareness and order accuracy using internal systems (Growmaster)
• Take a flexible, hands‑on approach, supporting colleagues where needed.
• This isn't a cold‑calling role - it's about relationship building, problem solving, and ensuring customers get the right plants, at the right time, every time.

About You

• A commercial mindset and a background in horticulture
• Confident in your plant knowledge. You'll have the ability to advise customers on the best products for their needs.
• Experience in one or more of the following:
  • Nursery trade sales or buying
  • Commercial growing or plant production
  • Landscaping with plant sourcing experience
• Comfortable using IT systems and Excel.
