Senior Sales Manager

The company are due to open a new depot in the South of England which means the current M.D. will be spending more time their setting it up. The successful candidate will be the M.D.’s “number two” and will run the sales operations from their East Midlands site.

This will involve managing a field sales team and working with M.D. to look at larger volume accounts, particularly wholesalers. Although this is a management role, a hands-on sales approach is still needed to be successful.

The Role:

• Manage the sales team function from the East Midlands site.
• Target new larger volume accounts, particularly in wholesale.

The Person:

• Must have experience managing sales people
• Preferably come from a “main plate offering” food business
• Experience Trading would be an advantage
