The other part of the role is working on the quotations, generating the quotes and following these up, turning them into orders. We are looking for a confident individual with high levels of customer service. This role requires someone who is proactive and will pick up the phone and talk to customers!

You will be part of a team and that is key. It's a good team and we need to find a team player! You will be helping out your colleagues as it's a 'muck-in' type of environment.
