Commercial Manager - Grocery Health Foods and Vegetarian SME

About the Business:

A high growth SME Food business specialising in vegetarian and vegan food to go are looking for their next superstar to continue their incredible growth! Since these guys started trading two years ago, they've quadrupled in size gaining listing in all the top 6 retailers and this growth looks like continuing for a long while yet! 

They are in conversation with other retailers regarding nationwide distribution, which will see them hit their 5 year target to reach £50m in turnover ambitious but definitely within reach. There aren't many businesses in the market that can show this kind of ambition and growth to back it.

With a business as young as this, NPD is at the forefront of their psyche. With a revolutionary product range across multiple categories and with new product lines launching at the end of this year, there is just no stopping them. 

With some key hires already made from Blue Chip businesses into their Sales and Marketing teams, the business is full of enthusiasm and energy - they work hard but know when to enjoy themselves. They demonstrate a really inclusive culture and some great perks including company holidays.
