We are currently recruiting for a professional, relationship-focused Business Development / Client Account Manager for our client based near the Newton/Haydock area.
The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and developing a portfolio of existing customers, re-engaging previous users of services, and generating business opportunities from an extensive company database.

- Manage and develop relationships with existing customers across the Northwest region.
- Reactivate lapsed and non-current customers through regular contact and relationship building.
- Conduct customer visits and meetings throughout Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, the Lake District, and surrounding areas.
- Work closely with an experienced operational team member who will provide technical and industry support.
- Maintain regular communication with customers via telephone, email, and face-to-face meetings.
- Produce accurate customer records and updates using company systems.
- Develop a strong understanding of customer requirements and provide suitable service solutions.
As the Business Development/Account Manager, will you have the following skills;
- Previous experience in Business Development, Account Management or Sales.
- Background within Freight Forwarding, Manufacturing, Warehousing, Industrial Services, Distribution, or a similar B2B environment.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Comfortable visiting customers and developing business opportunities throughout the Northwest.
- A professional and trustworthy individual who can work independently and represent the business positively.
- Full UK driving licence.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys developing long-term customer relationships rather than working in a high-pressure sales environment. You will inherit an established database of current and previous customers, receive strong operational support from experienced colleagues, and join a stable business where many team members have built long service careers.
