  • You’ll work within the branch, maximising sales at every opportunity and expanding our customer base. 
  • You'll be dialling out and answering any incoming calls. 
  • You'll be supporting the warehouse.

What experience do you need?

You don't need to come from our sector, although it would be advantageous, but its not essential. It doesn't matter what sector you come from, we just need transferable skills - sales experience, great customer service, commercial acumen, self motivated, driven, and able to make the most of this fantastic opportunity.
