This is a senior, consultative role suited to a commercially driven professional who enjoys building long-term, high-value relationships and operating at decision-maker level.

Key responsibilities include:

Driving revenue growth through account expansion, upselling, and cross-selling
Increasing brand presence and market penetration across key local sectors
This role is focused on quality conversations, long-term partnerships, and true commercial ownership.

Are an experienced B2B sales or business development professional
Thrive in consultative, relationship-led selling environments
Are commercially astute and confident negotiating at senior level
Are comfortable managing pipelines, forecasts, and KPIs
Enjoy autonomy, accountability, and visibility
Want to make a tangible impact within a growing, high-performing business
Experience within recruitment, transport, logistics, or a service-led environment is highly desirable.
A full UK driving licence is essential.
What You’ll Get
Salary of £30,000–£36,000
Uncapped commission with realistic OTE of £50,000–£60,000

A key role within a growing, award-winning business
Autonomy, trust, and long-term career progression
