Company

One of the UK’s leading premium branded snacking businesses have created a new opportunity for a Business Development Manager to drive and further develop their presence within the Foodservice channel. The business has a glowing reputation across the industry and their portfolio boasts a number of instantly recognised products. Following strong growth of the overall category the business has achieved national distribution across the Retail, Wholesale and Foodservice channels. Following increasing demand for their products, the business has created a Business Development Manager role to support the growth of the brand.

Role

As Business Development Manager you will take direct responsibility for an existing account portfolio which consists of both National and Regional Foodservice accounts within the North of England. Customers within the portfolio include; hotels, restaurants, Foodservice Distributors, airline and snacking distributors. In addition to maintaining and developing the existing business you will be tasked with identifying new customers and developing trading relationships. You will report directly into the Sales Director so can expect a great degree of autonomy to make commercial decisions.

Requirements

The successful candidate for this position will be a self-motivated sales professional with a track record of developing business within the Foodservice arena, ideally with experience of selling into both National and Regional Foodservice customers in a field based capacity. It is essential that you have worked with branded food products and can have an appreciation for premium foods. My client is looking for an honest and driven individual who can make a difference in developing the brand.

Company

For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK.  We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice.  Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.

Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis?  Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission?  Come speak to us.

If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.

We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals.  From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.  

How are we different to most of our competitors?  Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with.  However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need.  In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together.  In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt.  In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
