This is a rare chance to take ownership of sales growth for a long-established, family-run cleaning and facilities services business.

We’re looking for an experienced, self-sufficient sales professional with a strong track record of selling Cleaning/Facilities Management solutions into private and commercial sectors (e.g. managing agents, professional services, high-end retail, media). You’ll be a hungry business developer, confident in generating your own pipeline, writing solutions, and shaping deals. Most importantly, you’ll bring the vision and drive to build a sales function from scratch.
