Territory Business Manager – Speciality Foods

£competitive + excellent bonus + benefits

North West

 

Established in 1974, Cottage Delight is a multi-award winning manufacturer of speciality foods. They have a portfolio which is vast, encompassing premium preserves, snack foods, bakery products and more.  They are the leaders in their field and remain steadfast in their policy to supply only national and international, high quality independent retail outlets – their ranges will not be found in multiple supermarkets. All of their products deliver a homemade look and are constantly evolving through innovative NPD ideas. They now require a Territory Business Manager to cover North West of England.

 As Territory Business Manager, you will be take control of the North West region with full P&L responsibility. Given the size of the territory, you must be able to journey plan effectively and operate autonomously. You will be tasked with developing existing accounts, but also searching for new opportunities within independent retailers and garden centres. Your role will also involve attending relevant trade shows and product demonstrations in store. It is important that you build strong relationships in order to drive both sales and profit.

To be considered for this exciting opportunity, you will ideally have experience in a similar sales position within the food and drink industries. Alternatively you could be from outside of the industry, but have experience selling products into the independent channel in some form. This role could potentially offer an excellent ‘step up’ for a junior sales individual looking to gain more experience and offers a fantastic progression plan longer term. As described it is an autonomous role and hence you must have strong organisational skills and be able to make decisions that will maximise the territory’s potential.

If you feel you have the relevant experience outlined above, please forward your CV to our retained consultants at Clear Edge Search & Selection.
