• Taking and processing customer orders accurately, ensuring all details are correct.

• Logging and managing cases, delivery queries and aftersales issues, coordinating with internal teams to resolve them.

• Producing and updating simple quotes or order confirmations and ensuring follow‑through.

• Updating CRM/ERP records accurately after each interaction to maintain full visibility of customer activity.

• Managing a high volume of calls, emails and admin tasks while maintaining organised workflows.

• Supporting the Customer Excellence Manager and wider team with general admin and process improvements.

We’re looking for:

• Experience in fast‑paced customer service, customer support or order‑processing roles, ideally within a product‑based environment.

• Strong telephone skills with a clear, professional manner.

• High levels of organisation and attention to detail.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities without compromising accuracy or service.

• A genuinely customer‑first mindset: helpful, patient and solution‑focused.

• Good systems skills, including CRM/ERP familiarity and confident use of email; basic Excel is an advantage.

• Strong communication skills and confidence working with colleagues across sales, warehousing and operations.

REWARD & PROGRESSION

• Base salary: £30,000.

• Company‑wide profit share scheme after probation 

• Opportunity to develop within a growing structure, with potential progression into more commercial or internal sales roles for those with the right drive.
