Job Details
A Sales Manager position looking after UK retailers for this international garden furniture brand
Client Details
Up until recently my client has operated a distribution model in the UK, however they are now in a strong position to create a direct sales team and have a Sales Manager working directly for them in the UK. They have a well-positioned product range for the UK market and are seeing great success across Europe that should be emulated in this market. They manufacturer all of their products in France and have a rich company heritage and history.
Description
The role of the UK Sales Manager will be to manage existing accounts and retailers but also identify and convert new ones. This garden furniture range fits nicely with garden centres, mid to high end furniture stores and homeware retailers so this will be your main target base - although suggestions are welcome! You will report into the International Sales Manager who is largely based in France, so you must be comfortable working autonomously. The key selling season for this product range is up until the end of November so ideally we are looking for somebody to be able to start at the beginning of October. Ideally you will be based in the South/London area or near an airport
Profile
The UK Sales Manager will have recent experience of selling a consumer product into either garden centres, homeware stores or furniture stores. You will be self motivated as this role reports into the International Sales Manager who is based in France.
