About The Opportunity

Due to the nature of our industry, early starts (5am/6am) are required, however this means the afternoons are yours to enjoy!

About You

This role is an ideal opportunity to move into sales from a retail, customer service or logistics background - we'll provide you with training and support to grow your sales capability. If you already have sales experience and knowledge of fresh produce or the FMCG sector, that would be a bonus!

You have exceptional communication and people skills, and a positive, proactive attitude. The world of fresh produce moves fast, so you'll need top time management and prioritisation skills, and the ability to solve logistical challenges against the clock.

We're a supportive team that achieves great results and there are loads of career development opportunities within our large, global organisation. If you're looking for a fresh challenge for your career, apply today!

We want T&G to be a place where everyone is accepted, respected and celebrated for who they are – regardless of our similarities or differences. It’s essential that everyone can be themselves and thrive, and that together we create a diverse and vibrant workplace.
