Our Client sell a range of speciality gift foods into garden centres, gift shops, and Farm shops / delis ( approx. one third into each channel ). A vacancy has arisen for a Territory Sales Manager to cover the Hampshire, Surrey & South London territory.

The patch is a well-established area turning over substantial sales from over 150 live accounts. There is however plenty of scope to increase this turnover, and plenty of non-trading accounts on the area.

The accounts on patch range from ( lots of ) independent garden centres, to small owner operated corner shops up to some quite major tourist attractions. Ther are also a number of Stores affiliated to a large Symbol Group. There are also some larger garden centres ( including some branches of Squires ) on patch which also provide greater incomes, but with no head office involvement.

It’s essential that candidates have good exposure to independent garden centres, Exposure to Farm Shops and / or Gift Shops would be a bit of a bonus. Experience managing Symbol Group Stores would also be a bonus.

Our Client is looking for somebody who can deal with the larger accounts and deal with professional buyers, as well as dealing with small individual shop keepers. They are also looking for somebody who can maximise the new business opportunities on patch as well as just managing existing accounts. New business is very important.
