We supply high\-demand FMCG brands, dry goods, fresh produce, and frozen stock at unbeatable wholesale rates.

Role Overview

We are looking for a high\-energy, results\-driven Business Support Officer to act as our primary Field Sales Representative. In this hands\-on, outbound role, your core focus will be pounding the pavement across Sheffield and the surrounding regions to onboard as many retail grocery stores and food businesses as possible each day.

You won't just close sales; you will partner with business owners, onboard them onto our wholesale platform, manage their trade accounts, and help them scale using our cash\-and\-carry facilities, trade credit structures, and rebate schemes.

• Account Management \& Growth Tracking: Act as the direct point of contact for onboarded clients, tracking their purchasing volumes, managing order frequency, and identifying expansion opportunities.


• Business Growth Advisory: Help clients maximize their profit margins by introducing them to our Rebate Facilities and 25% Cash Credit Facilities, matching them with stock that drives their retail revenue.


• Trade File Administration: Maintain accurate digital account records, track sales performance against daily onboarding targets, and liaise with our warehouse management team to ensure smooth order fulfillment.

• Proven Sales / Business Development Experience: Background in B2B sales, direct field sales, FMCG distribution, or client onboarding (experience in food wholesale or retail is a major advantage).


• Strong Interpersonal \& Negotiation Skills: Ability to build instant rapport with business owners, handle objections, and close trade deals on the spot.


• Mobility: Full UK Driving Licence and access to a reliable vehicle (travel across local regions is required).


• Self\-Motivated \& Target\-Driven: Comfortable working independently in the field with a strong drive to exceed daily acquisition targets.


• Administrative Discipline: Comfortable keeping organised customer files, tracking sales metrics, and reporting activity back to head office.

• Competitive base pay \+ performance incentives for target completions.


• Travel allowance / mileage reimbursement.


• Flexible part\-time hours designed around field productivity.


• Direct career growth opportunities as our warehouse footprint and regional network expand.
