Do you have a passion for hardy nursery stock and a knack for building strong grower relationships? Are you excited by exclusive genetics, top-tier plant quality, and the opportunity to drive real commercial impact?

We're working exclusively with Newey, one of the UK's leading ornamental plant producers, to find their next Perennial Plug, Tree & Liner Specialist.

What's the Job?

You'll manage and grow a portfolio of key accounts across the UK within the wholesale division, with a focus on perennials, trees, and liners.
You'll be in regular contact with growers - offering expert advice, developing tailored sales strategies, and ensuring customers maximise their potential with Newey's product range.
You'll work closely with the Divisional Director and existing team, keeping NPD and market insight at the heart of everything you do.
You'll spend around 3+ days a week on the road, visiting nurseries, building relationships, and uncovering new opportunities.
You'll also represent the business at trade shows and key industry events in the UK and Europe.

What Do I Need?

Experience in the hardy nursery stock sector - ideally with hands-on growing experience to back up your sales skills.
A proven track record in sales account management, ideally 2+ years.
Knowledge of amenity horticulture is a bonus, but not essential.
Confidence in communicating face-to-face, on the phone, and via email.
You'll be well-organised, methodical, and commercially savvy - with the ability to manage your own time and territory.
You'll need a full UK driving licence and be happy to travel with regular overnight stays.

Be part of a close-knit, supportive team that values innovation and commercial impact.
Work in a varied, autonomous role where no two days are the same.
