This is a full sales-cycle role where you’ll have real ownership of your pipeline—from prospecting through to closing and account development.

• Work towards and exceed KPI and revenue targets
• Maintain accurate records of pipeline activity and sales forecasts

What We’re Looking For

• Confident, personable, and professional communicator
• Motivated by targets, incentives, and career progression
• Ability to work independently and manage your own territory
• Experience working towards KPIs or targets (sales or non-sales backgrounds considered)
• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• A proactive and resilient mindset with a strong work ethic

No prior sales or logistics experience is required—full training will be provided.

What’s on Offer

• £30,000 - £35,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission (£35,000–£45,000+ OTE)
• Lifetime commission on accounts you bring in
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing business
• 12-month comprehensive training program and ongoing support
