Business Development Manager - Freight Forwarding (4PL Solutions)
Location: National (preferred base in the Midlands or within reach of Lichfield)
Salary: £Very Competitive + Company Car + Annual Bonus + Benefits
Industry: Logistics, Freight Forwarding, Supply Chain, Transport
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Are you a driven and energetic B2B sales professional with a passion for logistics? Do you thrive in new business development, uncovering opportunities others miss, and shaping bespoke freight solutions?
A leading UK logistics provider is expanding its 4PL freight forwarding division and is seeking a proactive, hunter-minded Business Development Manager to join the team.
The Opportunity
This is a newly created national role within a growing 4PL freight forwarding function. You'll work closely with a dedicated internal solutions team to win and deliver transport solutions that fall outside the business's in-house capabilities - including container movements, import/export, air, sea, and road freight.
This is not a pallet network sales role - you'll be uncovering niche logistics needs and collaborating with operational experts to build customised freight forwarding solutions via a network of trusted third-party providers.
Key Responsibilities
* Identify and target new customers across manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, and industrial sectors.
* Generate leads through cold outreach, networking, site visits, and referrals.
* Qualify opportunities, gather logistics requirements, and pass leads to the internal solutions team.
* Track your pipeline using CRM tools and provide accurate sales forecasting.
* Deliver value-led proposals that solve real customer challenges.
* Build lasting relationships with decision-makers across the UK.
About You
* Experience in freight forwarding, logistics, parcel delivery, or B2B field sales.
* A confident communicator who can open doors and build trust quickly.
* You thrive on outbound sales and are motivated by results and recognition.
* Familiarity with air, sea, road, or multimodal freight is an advantage.
* Comfortable working from home and on the road - ideally Midlands-based.
What's on Offer
* Company car + mileage
* 33 days holiday
* BUPA cash plan, life assurance & monthly incentives
* Hot desk access across Leeds, Manchester, and Lichfield
* Full onboarding & ongoing sales training
* A fun, supportive and entrepreneurial work culture
Join a growing team where your voice is heard, your impact is measurable, and your career can evolve with the business.
Apply today quoting reference #3146641 to explore the opportunity to shape a new sales frontier in freight forwarding.
