Do you want to sell a healthy product that is on trend and suits the health focused and fast moving London life?

Do you have ambition to grow into a national sales role dealing with major multiples?

This opportunity can fulfil your ambitions, this company is a privately owned snacking manufacturer who are looking to take their exciting new healthy snacking range to the London market.  They already have snacking products listed with major retailers and wholesalers so this company know how to grow a brand but they want a dedicated sales person to be the face of their new product.

This is not being done a whim, significant market research has been undertaken and they believe they have spotted a niche in the market and the brand will be launched at the Lunch trade show in september.

First targets are health food stores, cafes, lunch venues including multi site outlets and wholesalers.  Ultimately the product should end up on shelf in major retailers but they want to grow the brand from the ground up first.

The right person will have a food sales background, have done field sales and negotiation of listings but is looking for a step up into key accounts and national accounts or maybe your career is stalling within a large business and you want to join a fast growing SME.  You must live in or around London and be happy to work regularly in London. 

Salary on offer of £30-40k + car and all transport costs + bonus.
