• Company car for nationwide travel

• Remote working with full autonomy over your diary

• Direct access to senior leadership and real influence over sales strategy

• Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow

• Supportive, collaborative culture with the freedom to build your own approach

• High‑value product range with strong market demand

• Job security within a long‑established, reputable manufacturer

What You will Bring

• Proven success generating new business and closing high‑value capital equipment or vehicle‑related sales

• A proactive, self‑starting approach with strong commercial judgement

• Confidence engaging technically minded buyers and senior stakeholders

• Excellent CRM discipline and structured activity management

• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively

Desirable: experience in automotive, transport, haulage or specialist vehicles; existing industry contacts; formal sales training; experience in an owner‑led or small business environment.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you will have built a credible pipeline, secured new customers, established a disciplined sales rhythm and become a trusted point of contact in the market.
