The Company
A respected company operating in the garden and outdoor market, my client has seen steady growth to become one of the top suppliers to garden centres, DIY sheds and grocery multiples. They operate under a number a recognisable brands and their products are used by millions of people every year.
The Role
You will be responsible for managing sales into some of the company’s largest multiple accounts including the grocery channel. This will include full P&L and budgetary responsibility, as well as looking to develop business particularly within the discount channel. This will involve working with retailers and the marketing / product development team to develop new brands specific to each account. The multiple retail channel accounts for around half of the business turnover, within which you will have some very strategically important customers. You will be tasked with developing this account base and looking to add to it through customer acquisition.
The Candidate
Ideally you will have experience of a seasonal product and have managed large multiple accounts, although the exact channel is not necessarily important depending on your skills. You must have experience of forecasting and strong business development would be a distinct advantage. The company has a relatively small team so you should be comfortable working in a visible role with regular contact with the senior team and owners.
