• Build strong, trusted relationships across the sector
• Negotiate pricing, stock availability, and purchasing terms
• Develop new business opportunities and maintain regular contact with existing accounts
• Manage detailed product information and stock lists across multiple brands
• Process purchase orders accurately, ensuring product codes and descriptions are correct
• Work closely with internal teams to ensure purchasing activity supports operational needs
• Monitor stock levels and purchasing trends to identify opportunities
• Maintain accurate records and data on purchasing activity and supplier relationships
About you:
• Confident communicator who enjoys building relationships
• Commercially aware with a proactive, self-motivated approach
• Interested in progressing and developing within a long-standing family business
• Comfortable speaking with dealerships, manufacturers, and industry partners
