International Sales Executive – Belvoir Farm Drinks Certified B Corporation
Hybrid Working | Competitive Salary + Bonus Potential | International Travel
An excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual seeking to develop a career in export sales.
About Belvoir Farm
Belvoir Farm started in 1984 on a kitchen table in Leicestershire, with a tub full of elderflowers and a hand-written family recipe. Today, we are still a family-owned business, but now we make millions of bottes of drinks each year and export to over 26 countries – all from our farm near Bottesford in the Vale of Belvoir.
What we do
We are experts in making soft drinks. We only use fresh flowers, spices and the very best fruit juices to make delicious tasting, natural drinks. In fact, we are particularly proud that all the recipes for our drinks are entirely natural and we never use artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, preservatives or stabilisers. We cherish our natural environment - our elderflower plantations are certified organic, and we have planted thousands of native trees on the farm, as well as re-laying over 10 miles of hedges.
