The Position

Reporting into the UK Sales Manager, the company is expanding their High-Value sales team following a re-alignment of their territories.

• The North-East region is a strategic focus for them with a variety of end user sectors aligning well with their Workwear and Textile Wiping solutions from industrial & manufacturing through to Chemical and Print.
