Account Development Manager

Our client has been established in the North East for 25 years and has an excellent reputation for their quality and ability to delivering on time and in full to meet customers’ requirements.
With extensive secure production and warehouse facilities our client operates efficient, flexible, fast flowing repack lines and also have the ability to store hundreds of pallets of products for their customers in a clean environment, guaranteeing a quality finish. Accurate stock controlling and traceability systems ensure customer packing requirements and the complex needs of many global blue chip clients covering numerous high street brands are catered for using the client’s breadth of skill, experience and professionalism.
In order to grow and expand this established business our client is looking to recruit a Business Development Manager to join the management team.
While the key responsibility will be to expand the client base and increase turnover in a controlled and profitable manner, the successful candidate will also be expected to gain a thorough understanding of the whole business. This knowledge will allow the Business Development Manager ‘sell’ the company’s expertise to new and existing blue chip clients as thus contribute fully to ensuring the profitability of the day to day business and directing future growth.
This role offers a great opportunity for an ambitious individual with excellent communication, interpersonal, selling and negotiating skills to join an established business and inject some energy and purpose to widening the customer base.
Qualifications are less important than relevant ‘selling’ experience and the right fit for this tight knit management team but candidates with FMCG packaging knowledge and experience would be welcomed. Candidates must possess their own transport.
Salary and benefits include a salary and a pension but the real rewards will come from sharing in the growth of the business and being rewarded for success on a monthly basis with a generous commission package paid on gaining new profitable business with extra incentives available for achieving this at quiet times of the year for this seasonal business. All business expenses and mileage will be reimbursed in full.
This is a great opportunity for an ambitious “salesperson” to greatly enhance their earnings and be rewarded for their efforts.
