Business Development Manager

Are you a sales professional who thrives on being out in the field, meeting customers, building relationships, and spotting opportunities others might miss? This is your chance to take ownership of a key territory with a well-established UK manufacturing business that values its people and invests in growth.

In this role, you will spend your time meeting existing customers to strengthen relationships, uncovering new opportunities, and turning conversations into long-term partnerships. You will not be stuck behind a desk. You will have the freedom to plan your own diary while working closely with a supportive internal team who understand the value of great salespeople.

What you will be doing

• Meeting new and existing customers face-to-face to build strong, long-lasting relationships
• Identifying opportunities and converting them into sales that drive growth
• Managing a portfolio of accounts and ensuring customers get the right solutions for their needs
• Working towards clear, achievable sales targets while providing accurate forecasts
• Collaborating with internal teams to make sure every customer experience is seamless

What we are looking for

• Proven experience in field-based B2B sales or business development
• A confident, professional communicator who builds trust quickly
• Self-motivated and organised, able to manage your own schedule
• Commercially minded with strong negotiation skills
• Full UK driving licence
• Experience in manufacturing, packaging, or technical industries is a plus but not essential

What is in it for you

• Competitive basic salary with performance-related bonus
• Car allowance
• A stable, growing business that invests in its people
• Autonomy to manage your territory and make a real impact
• Opportunities for career progression and personal development

This role is ideal for a proactive sales professional who enjoys being on the road, meeting customers, and making a tangible difference. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
