Additionally, being well‑organised and planned goes without saying, as you will be responsible for building relationships with some of our biggest National customers remotely.

We work in a dynamic and fast‑paced office environment where as part of our culture we take pride in what we do. We listen and support each other as one team in the National Sales Office whilst driving to achieve one shared vision.
