This is a varied role for someone who enjoys combining technical sales, relationship building and business development, with the freedom to manage your own pipeline and make a real contribution to the continued growth of the business.

• Contribute ideas and initiatives that support the continued growth of the company and its customer base.

The Candidate

We're looking for a driven, commercially minded and personable sales professional who enjoys building relationships.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in a B2B sales or business development role.
• Experience within machinery sales or a technical environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.
• A proactive, ambitious and self-motivated approach, with the drive to identify and develop new opportunities.
• The ability to work confidently and independently while also being a strong team player.
• Excellent organisational and time-management skills.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build relationships at all levels.
• A professional and consultative approach to sales.
• The ability to manage your own workload, pipeline and customer relationships effectively.

Why Join?

In return for your expertise and commitment, you’ll receive an attractive package including £35,000+ basic salary, bonus, profit share, company car, private healthcare and an enhanced pension, together with the opportunity to develop your career within a highly respected market leader.
