My client is a manufacturer of specialist catering equipment, they are now looking to appoint an additional Area Sales Chef to cover West Yorkshire. This would take in York, Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Hull.

With an established and innovative product range familiar to all in the commercial catering sector, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a true market leader.

I am looking for applicants with a Chef background who are now in sales or have had some exposure to sales. Ideally candidates will have been a head chef but those with just the NVQ or similar qualifications will be considered.

The role will involve advising, demonstrating and selling the equipment to chefs, catering managers, buyers and owners. Sales will also be won through building strong relationships with the established catering equipment dealer / distributer networks.

Coming from a Chef background you will know what makes a Chef tick, and what the Chef’s needs are, hence making selling the features and benefits of these products easy.

The role will be a mixture of working in tandem with the established dealer representatives, as well as working alone following up leads and generating new business with the end-user directly. 

To apply you will need sales experience and have recent experience of working as a chef in a commercial kitchen. This coupled with a strong work ethic, outgoing personality and an entrepreneurial flair.

For the successful candidate my client is offering a competitive package. With a good basic salary, commission scheme and bonus, company car, mobile phone, laptop, pension and healthcare. This is a great chance to work for one of the best brands in the sector offering career stability and great training.
