This is a challenging but hugely rewarding role. You will be responsible for leading your team to success, with the full support of a dedicated Regional Sales Manager and the teams at our Head Office.

  • Tenacious and driven with a proven track record of reaching and exceeding personal targets
  • You’ll be a leader by nature, with the ability to inspire and motivate your team on a daily basis
  • You should possess a highly positive outlook, even when challenges present themselves to you 
  • Confident and a self-starter –  we’re looking for someone who believes in themselves and can make sound decisions based on their own initiative
  • Flexible and adaptable to really changeable or reactive situations
  • You should be very commercially aware, with an eye for detail, opportunity and keeping abreast of competitor activity
  • Communication skills are essential – we’re looking for an individual that can confidently communicate with people at all levels of the business and adapt accordingly when speaking with clients
