Commercial Manager – Foodservice

£47,859 to £59,705 Basic plus bonus and company car and benefits

Our client enjoys an enviable following in the world of food wrapping and food storage products into the professional foodservice channel. Currently the European market leader in professional food wrapping films and foils ( both low density polythene, as well as aluminium based products ) along with an ever expanding range of kitchen storage products. Trading successfully in the Americas and across Europe and with some business here in the UK, the company has identified an opportunity to invest heavily in the UK business and to duplicate the successes of the American and European operations. That investment involves the opening of a UK office plus dedicated warehouse and distribution facilities ( opening in Oxford in December ). The company has also invested in new production facilities to extend its current product range to include disposable serviettes and other catering disposables including other paper based products for both food preparation and cleaning purposes . The new products will be available from January 2020 and will be the perfect complement to the existing product range. This is an exciting time in the company’s history and opportunities abound !

To be considered for this exciting position you should be experienced in selling into both the National foodservice wholesale market ( such as Bidfood and Brakes ), as well as some kind of end users ( that could be any kind of national end users ranging from pub groups to restaurant groups to schools and colleges or pretty much any end users ). It’s essential however that you have experience of both ( wholesale and end user ) channels at National Account level, and are familiar with the push / pull mechanic strategy deployed by the dual channel approach. Applications will be considered equally favourably from candidates from either  non-food / disposable / foodservice accessory background along with candidates having sold food and drink products. It’s very much your channel experience and you commercial savvy that are uppermost in importance.

In return for your dedication and effort our client is prepared to pay a basic salary of between £47,859 to £59,705 plus bonus and company car.

The job involves a substantial amount of travelling however you will be required to be in the office at least once a week ( Oxford ) so would ideally be located in the south east quadrant of the UK. You will also be required to attend an annual sales conference in Germany in March each year ( three days ).
