We are proud of our reputation for quality, service and reliability, and we are now entering an exciting period of growth, with plans to increase turnover from £20m to £30m.

To support this growth, we are looking for a Sales Administrator to join our office team and provide day‑to‑day support to our Sales Account Managers and Business Development team.

• Monitoring customer delivery dates and acting on any changes
• Producing basic KPI and performance reports

We’re looking for someone who is organised, reliable and comfortable working in a busy office environment. You will ideally have experience in a sales or order‑processing role, but attitude and attention to detail are just as important.

You should have:

• A high level of honesty, professionalism and integrity
• Strong organisational and time‑management skills
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office
• Experience using CRM and sales or order‑processing systems
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
