Field Sales Executive

Help Shape the Next Growth Chapter of a British Engineering Success Story

Our client is a well\-established British engineering and technology business with a reputation for delivering innovative solutions to customers across multiple sectors throughout the UK.

With more than three decades of successful trading, the business has built a loyal customer base, an excellent industry reputation and a strong platform for future growth.

Following six consecutive years of record performance and with exciting new product launches planned, the business is investing in the next phase of its growth strategy and is looking to appoint a commercially minded Field Sales Executive.

This is an opportunity to join a stable, profitable and ambitious organisation where your contribution will be highly visible, your ideas will be valued and your success will directly influence the future growth of the business.

Why Join?

Many sales roles promise autonomy, progression and the chance to make an impact.

This opportunity genuinely offers all three.

The business operates with a straightforward, supportive culture where people are trusted to do their jobs, decisions are made quickly and success is recognised.

You’ll work closely with experienced leaders who remain actively involved in the growth of the company and who are committed to investing in both the business and its people.

You’ll benefit from the credibility of an established brand whilst having the freedom to develop new opportunities, strengthen existing customer relationships and help bring innovative new products to market.
