The Role:

As Business Development Manager, you’ll play a key role in driving growth by developing new business opportunities, nurturing existing accounts, and managing sales opportunities from enquiry through to completion.

*Build strong relationships with key stakeholders, consultants, contractors and decision-makers.
*Generate and manage a healthy sales pipeline through networking, referrals, outbound activity and existing accounts.
*Qualify opportunities and provide consultative, solution-led recommendations.
*Manage the full sales cycle, from initial enquiry through to quotation, negotiation and order completion.
*Develop strategic account plans to maximise customer value and long-term relationships.
*Maintain accurate CRM records, forecasts and pipeline reporting.
*Drive repeat business and identify opportunities for additional services and future projects.
*Represent the business at industry events, exhibitions and networking opportunities.
*Collaborate with internal teams to share market intelligence and customer insights.
About You:

We’d love to hear from candidates who have:
*Proven experience in business development, consultative sales or account management.
*Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills.
*A strong commercial mindset and ability to identify growth opportunities.
*Experience influencing and negotiating with decision-makers.
*Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple opportunities simultaneously.
*Strong IT and CRM experience.
*A full UK driving licence.
Desirable Experience
*Experience within hospitality, catering equipment, foodservice, manufacturing or a related industry.
*Exposure to capital equipment, technical sales or project-led sales environments.
*Experience creating sales strategies and account development plans.
What’s In It For You?
*Salary from £35,000 DOE
*Quarterly performance bonus
*Company pension
*Free parking
*Ongoing training and professional development
*The opportunity to join a growing business where your ideas and contributions will be valued
*A genuine chance to play a key role in the company’s future growth journey
