Looking for a role where your ideas are valued, and your work makes a difference?
Want to join a friendly, down-to-earth team in a growing horticultural business?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, family-run trade nursery supplying trees, shrubs, and perennials to the landscaping and construction industries.
With over 30 acres of production, they combine UK and European sourcing with in-house growing to deliver top-quality plants to a wide range of clients - from local landscapers and designers to national contractors and housebuilders.
What's in it for you?
* Competitive salary (DOE)
* Supportive, family-run environment with a business that values initiative and teamwork - not rigid KPIs.
* Real autonomy and the chance to make an impact.
* A varied role covering sales, customer relationships, and plant advice.
* Collaborative culture - everyone pitches in when needed.
* Opportunities to grow your career as the business expands.
The Role
This is a brand-new position, created to support continued growth and strengthen customer relationships.
You'll be the link between customers, suppliers, and the nursery team - managing existing accounts while helping develop new business opportunities.
Day to day, you'll:
* Build and maintain strong relationships with both new and existing trade customers.
* Handle enquiries, prepare quotations, and follow up on orders.
* Advise on plant availability, specifications, and suitable alternatives.
* Identify and develop new customer relationships across the trade landscape sector.
* Work closely with the nursery and operations teams to ensure smooth order flow.
* Coordinate with suppliers and logistics to meet customer deadlines.
* Get involved in marketing activity - from promotions to social media updates.
* Help maintain stock awareness and order accuracy using internal systems (Growmaster)
* Take a flexible, hands-on approach, supporting colleagues where needed.
* This isn't a cold-calling role - it's about relationship building, problem solving, and ensuring customers get the right plants, at the right time, every time.
About You
* A commercial mindset and a background in horticulture
* Confident in your plant knowledge. You'll have the ability to advise customers on the best products for their needs.
* Experience in one or more of the following:
