Area Sales Managers (Ex Chefs Required) - Food Preparation/Catering Equipment

Area Sales Managers (Ex Chefs required) - Food Preparation / Catering equipment

£38-42,000 Basic, Commission, Car Allowance/Company Car + Benefits

Our client is a well leading distributor of catering equipment with a loyal customer base in Scotland and the north of England, however that market penetration does not ( until now ) extend to the south of the country or the midlands. A recent merger now presents the opportunity to extend the sales efforts into the south and the Midlands, and we have been retained to identify and recruit three accomplished individuals ( one to cover the south-east, one for the south-west, and one for the midlands area ). Although these are new areas, an existing customer base does exist as the result of a strong market presence by the other party to the merger, so there are existing and warm relationships already which should make the cross fertilisation of products relatively easy.

To be considered for one of these exciting roles you should ideally have worked as a chef at some stage in the past as much of the work involves doing product demos to chefs, so you’ll need an ability to talk to chefs in their own language. Some sales exposure would also be a bonus, although we have also been briefed to accept applications from candidates looking for their first ever sales roles as well.

To be considered for one of these exciting roles, you will need to be a proactive self-starter, highly disciplined and well-organised with a strong desire to succeed. Career prospects are excellent for the right individuals.
