Our client is a market-leading label manufacturer, specialising in cut & stack and reel-fed labels and sleeves for large FMCG food and drink brands.

Due to growth and expansion they are recruiting for an additional Technical Sales person to join the team, this could be a junior candidate with ambition and a solid understanding of flexo or litho printed packaging.
