Love working with people and delivering excellent service—but looking for something a bit different?
Or perhaps you enjoy sales but want more structure and purpose in your day? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re Breedon, the UK and Ireland’s largest independent construction materials group, and we’re on the lookout for a motivated Sales andCustomer Service Agent to join our Special Aggregates team.

  • Provide technical support to ensure the right products reach the right customers
