There's a good business here, a great product range and a garden retail market that's ripe for growth.
Fancy being the person to make it happen?
What can I expect?
You'll be looking after existing garden centre accounts, developing relationships and winning new business. There's a good range of products to get behind and more in the pipeline courtesy of their fab NPD and Design team.
There's scope to develop existing accounts, lots of new doors to open and bring fresh ideas to the table. There might be scope for this role to evolve into more of a NAM or KAM role in future, should someone want to make that transition.
What experience do I need?
You need to know the garden centre market and, more importantly, enjoy selling into it.
We're looking for someone who is regularly out seeing customers, building relationships, spotting opportunities and converting them into sales. Someone who can pick up an account, develop a plan and get on with making things happen.
You'll have experience selling into independent and multiple garden centres, with a good understanding of how buyers think and what makes a range work at retail.
This isn't a desk-based account management role. You'll need energy, commercial nous and a genuine appetite for new business.
About the Company
A small, established business with a great family feel. They're in a good position to grow. The operational foundations are there, the team is settled and there's investment going into marketing and product development. Now it's about building the sales side and making more of the opportunities in front of them.
If you know the garden centre market and fancy the chance to help grow something exciting, I'd love to hear from you.
