Business Development Executive

Do you have experience managing and developing customer accounts? Are you technically minded with an engineering or manufacturing background? Looking to join a friendly, growing business where you can make a real impact?

Our client is a leading distributor within their industry and, due to continued growth, is looking to recruit an ambitious and driven Business Development Executive to join their team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially focused individual who enjoys building long-term customer relationships, identifying new business opportunities, and providing technical solutions to clients.

The Role

You will be responsible for managing and developing existing customer accounts while actively identifying and securing new business opportunities. Working closely with customers, you will provide expert advice and demonstrate products on-site, helping clients select the most effective solutions for their applications.

The role is field-based across England, with a minimum of two days per week visiting customers and three days based at the Aylesbury office supporting sales activities, quotations, and reporting.

• The confidence to deliver on-site product demonstrations and technical guidance.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Excel and CRM/reporting systems.

We are looking for someone who can understand how products, components, and assemblies work together and can confidently discuss technical applications with customers. The successful candidate should be able to assess a design, product, or process, identify potential improvements, and recognise how modifications or additional components could enhance performance, functionality, or efficiency.
