Location: Spilsby

Job Type: Full-Time

Travel: Travel and some overnight stays will be required

About the Role:

Our client is seeking a driven and dynamic Business Development Executive to join their expanding team. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, motivated individual with strong communication skills, who thrives on building strong relationships, identifying new growth opportunities, and delivering results. The successful candidate will take ownership of a portfolio of key accounts and buying groups, nurturing and developing these partnerships to maximise performance and long-term value. A key part of the role will be to identify and develop new business opportunities, expanding their customer base and increasing market share through proactive prospecting and strategic planning.

You will play a pivotal role in driving sales growth, increasing market presence, and ensuring their customers receive exceptional service and support. You will confidently represent the business at customer meetings, trade exhibitions, supplier open days, and customer events, delivering engaging presentations and building meaningful industry connections. The position will require some travel and overnight stays. Flexibility, strong organisational skills, and a willingness to be on the road are essential. In return, they offer the opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking and ambitious organisation where your contribution will have a direct and visible impact on their continued success, bringing with it the opportunity for career growth and progression within the company.

Skills & Experience:

Experience in a sales-oriented role is certainly advantageous; however, they place far greater value on attitude, mindset, and personality.

Most importantly, they are seeking someone who possesses a genuine hunger to succeed - an individual who is ambitious, self-motivated, and eager to continuously improve.

They value individuals who take ownership of their performance, actively seek feedback, and are committed to building a long-term career.
