NOLTON HOSPITALITY SALES MANAGER
Bridgend \| Full\-Time \| Competitive Salary \+ Performance Bonus
Are you a natural salesperson who knows how to turn empty tables, unused rooms and quiet dates into revenue?
Nolton Hospitality is looking for an ambitious, target\-driven Sales Manager to join our growing hospitality group and take ownership of driving sales across our venues in Bridgend.
This is not a passive sales role. We’re looking for someone who is hungry to generate business, build relationships, chase opportunities and consistently hit — and exceed — weekly sales targets.
Your mission is simple:
MAXIMISE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO GENERATE REVENUE.
From restaurant bookings and large parties to private hire, corporate events, celebrations, Christmas parties and functions — you’ll be responsible for filling our venues and function spaces and maximising their earning potential.
THE ROLE
As Sales Manager, you will:
- Drive sales across the Nolton Hospitality group
- Maximise restaurant capacity, particularly during quieter periods
- Generate and convert large party and group bookings
- Sell private hire and function room packages
- Develop and secure corporate bookings and events
- Drive birthday parties, celebrations, hen \& stag events, Christmas parties and special occasions
- Identify new revenue opportunities across all venues
- Proactively contact local businesses, organisations and event planners
- Build and maintain strong relationships with existing and new customers
- Follow up enquiries and convert leads into confirmed bookings
- Upsell food, drinks, entertainment and additional packages
- Work closely with venue managers to maximise availability and capacity
- Create sales campaigns and incentives to drive bookings on quieter dates
- Monitor enquiries, conversions and revenue
- Maintain an active sales pipeline
- Report weekly performance against agreed targets
This role will be highly target\-driven.
You will have clear weekly and monthly sales targets, with performance measured against:
New enquiries generated
Bookings secured
Covers / guests booked
Events \& private hires sold
Revenue generated
Conversion rate
Venue capacity utilisation
We want someone who enjoys having a target in front of them and figuring out how to beat it.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for someone who is:
- Highly sales\-driven and commercially minded
- Confident speaking to customers and businesses
- Naturally persuasive without being pushy
- Organised and excellent at following up leads
- Comfortable making calls and proactively generating business
- Target\-focused and motivated by results
- Able to negotiate and close deals
- Creative when it comes to generating new business
- Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
- Experienced in hospitality, events, sales or business development
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive salary
- Performance\-related bonus / commission
- Clear weekly and monthly targets
- Opportunity to make a genuine impact across a growing hospitality group
- Working across a portfolio of established and developing venues
- Significant scope to grow the role and your earning potential
- A fast\-paced, entrepreneurial working environment
- Staff benefits across the Nolton Hospitality group
We don't want someone waiting for enquiries to land in their inbox.
We want someone who sees an empty function room and thinks:
“How do I fill it?”
Someone who sees a quiet Tuesday and thinks:
“Who can I sell this to?”
Someone who sees a 50\-person enquiry and thinks:
“How can I turn this into a £3,000 booking?”
If you're commercially minded, competitive, energetic and genuinely enjoy winning business, we'd love to hear from you.
