This is a genuine field-based sales role, where you will spend your time on the road visiting independent shops, convenience stores and local retailers, building relationships with business owners and generating sales face-to-face.

• Growing sales across your territory
• Managing your own daily route and appointments
• Developing existing customer relationships

You must hold a full UK driving licence with no more than 3 points.

Why Join?

You'll be joining a business with a unique position in the UK market as the sole distributor of its product, giving you something different to take to customers rather than competing with a crowded marketplace.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build your own territory
• Develop genuine long-term customer relationships
• Work independently and manage your own day
• Earn additional money through commission/bonus
• Work for a growing business with an exciting product
• Progress your career within the sales team

The Person

Ultimately, we're looking for someone who likes people, likes selling and likes being out on the road.

If you can walk into a corner shop, introduce yourself to the owner, start a conversation and turn that conversation into a sale, we want to hear from you.
