• Able to manage your own diary and territory effectively
• Confident using CRM systems and Microsoft Office tools

Why Should You Apply?

• You’ll be joining a well-established, rapidly growing company with strong environmental values
• Real ownership of your patch, with full support from a collaborative internal team
• Clear career progression – the Area Sales Manager role is expected to develop into Key Account Management
• Work with some of the UK’s most respected businesses in the food, pharma and chemical sectors
• A role that genuinely rewards drive, ambition, and success
