Do you enjoy building relationships with independent retailers, winning new business and helping customers grow their sales?
Blakeney Point Search & Selection is recruiting an Area Sales Manager for a food business supplying farm shops, garden centres, delis and independent retailers.
This is a hands-on opportunity to take ownership of an established territory, develop existing accounts and bring new stockists on board.
What will you be doing?
- Building relationships with business owners, buyers and store teams.
- Winning new customers and growing sales within existing accounts.
- Advising on product ranges, merchandising and promotions.
- Supporting product launches and making sure displays work effectively in-store.

Who are we looking for?
You’ll bring experience in field sales, territory management, account management or business development within food, drink, FMCG or wholesale.
Experience selling to independent retailers, particularly farm shops, garden centres or delis, would be especially relevant. You’ll be commercially aware, organised and comfortable working independently, with a practical approach to helping customers succeed.
Candidates based within approximately 30 miles of Oxford will be best placed for the role. The customer territory extends beyond this area, so regular travel is part of the position.
