Futura Foods UK is a successful and growing UK division of a European Chilled foods Group supplying a wide range of continental branded and own-label Dairy Products into Grocery Retail, Wholesale and Foodservice trade channels. Entrepreneurial by nature, the company has a strong people culture where individuals are highly valued and are offered real autonomy, empowerment and responsibility in their job roles.

Previous dairy, chilled foods or short-life products experience would be an advantage. More importantly the job requires a highly motivated, self-starter with excellent leadership skills, strong commercial acumen, a hands on approach and an individual who is just as skilled at “hunting” for new business across the channels as well as “farming” existing customers. You will need to demonstrate plenty of passion, energy and enthusiasm to be seriously considered.

The position is office based, hoverer there will be a requirement to visit customers 2 – 3 days a week. In addition the role will require a small amount of European travel on a selective basis, probably 1-2 times per year. In return the company offers an attractive salary package, car or car allowance and the usual benefits.
