This gives you the confidence to sell a solution that fits the customers' needs. You will remain involved throughout the sales process to ensure what's delivered, matches customer expectations.

The suitable candidate will be an experienced sales professional, ideally with a background in the packaging industry, although other manufacturing backgrounds will be considered. You must have an understanding of manufacturing processes in order to offer quotations and solutions to existing and potential customers, while maintaining a profitable offering.

This is a truly unique opportunity offering a genuine career opportunity with a budget to back your ideas and grow a professional sales team for you to manage.
