Job Details

Our client, creating a new role due to the significant growth they’ve enjoyed over the past 24 months, is looking to recruit a new Area Sales Manager position to manage key customer accounts across the South West of England.

As a leading branded food business within their category, major investment in innovation and marketing support has seen the business launch a portfolio new brands that have already enjoyed huge success.  Tailored towards the health conscious, premium focussed consumer, our client expects significant growth to continue for a sustained period of time.

Enjoying sustained growth resulting from a robust commercial strategy, the business is clearly one who can therefore offer swift career progression opportunities to those who perform well in their current role.  Indeed they can demonstrate several recent examples of people who have gained promotion within their first 12-15 months of joining the business.

The role is ideal for anybody with a field sales background, including those currently working for 3rd party agency's looking to progress to the manufacturing side of the industry.

Exposure to brands is important as is the ability to demonstrate a passion to deliver swift results and advance your career swiftly.

So if you’re looking to move to a more entrepreneurial environment that offers a great deal of autonomy to manage your own area and targets, and work with quality driven, on-trend brands, please make contact in order to learn more.

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.
