Sales Manager North

We are a privately owned, family‑run company specializing in articulated trailer contract hire and rental. With over 25 years of experience, we operate from state‑of‑the‑art facilities and have built a strong reputation for excellence and reliability. Our fleet consists of approximately 3,000 trailers, and we continue to grow year on year through consistent profitability and a focus on customer satisfaction. This scale and capability position us as a leader in the trailer rental sector.

As Sales Manager North, your core responsibility is to drive new business growth through long‑term articulated trailer contract hire agreements. We specialise in curtain‑siders, double‑deck trailers, and box vans, all of which can be custom‑built to match each customer’s specific operational requirements and branding needs. These tailored solutions are supported by full maintenance packages, offering a dependable and fully managed fleet service.

In addition to securing long‑term contract hire business, you will also support the sale of a standalone technology product that includes electronic brake performance monitoring, tracking, and telematics. This offering enhances value for customers, particularly those who operate their own trailer fleets, and complements your main sales activity.
