About the Role:

We’re looking for a motivated and personable Sales Representative to join our dynamic team. Reporting directly into the Sales and Marketing Director, this is a hybrid role requiring one day per month in our High Wycombe office, with the remainder spent on the road building relationships and driving sales with key partners and regional customers in The Midlands.

• Work collaboratively with the internal sales, marketing, and the Sales and Marketing Director to ensure smooth communication.
• Monitor competitor activity and market trends to inform strategy and maintain a competitive edge.
• Accurately report on customer activity, sales performance, and pipeline progress using CRM tools.

Requirements:

• Proven track record in sales, ideally in FMCG or the food & beverage industry.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Self-motivated, with the ability to manage time and territory effectively.
• Full UK driving licence (essential).
• Comfortable working independently on the road, while also being a team player.
