Job Description:
Eastern England (Office + Hybrid working)
Non-Retail Focus – Catering | Food Service | Wholesale
Significant Salary + Performance-Based Rewards
We’re on the lookout for an experienced Senior Trader to join a forward-thinking UK fresh produce business with a strong foothold in the high-value fruit crops sector. This role is tailor-made for a commercially savvy individual who understands the pace and nuance of non-retail channels, including catering, food service, and wholesale.
This is not your typical trading environment. Our client works hand-in-hand with a carefully curated group of growers who get it – growers who understand market demands and can deliver quickly, reliably, and with outstanding consistency. This unique grower model gives the business the agility to flex fast, respond to customer needs at short notice, and trade confidently on quality, price, and delivery. This business isn’t chasing retail shelves – it’s powering the supply chain for some of the UK’s most dynamic catering, food service, and wholesale operators. That means you’ll need a sharp commercial instinct, a deep understanding of trading, and the drive to deliver when it counts.
The Role
As Senior Trader, you’ll play a central role in driving the growth and profitability of the business. You’ll be responsible for managing and expanding customer accounts, sourcing premium produce, negotiating smart deals, and delivering excellent service to customers who expect the best. You’ll work alongside a stable, close-knit team that values integrity, sharp thinking, and getting things done without unnecessary red tape.
What We’re Looking For:
* A seasoned trader with strong commercial experience in fresh produce
* Deep understanding of the non-retail landscape (catering, food service, wholesale)
* Confident negotiator and relationship-builder, both with suppliers and customers
* A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-trust trading environment
* Someone with a track record of profitable delivery and strategic thinking
What’s on Offer:
* A significant base salary tailored to experience and results
* Performance-based rewards tied directly to success
* Flexibility through a hybrid working setup
* A collaborative, high-performing culture built for long-term growth
If you’re ready to take on a key role in a business that blends entrepreneurial energy with operational excellence, and if you’ve got the network and the numbers to prove it, we want to hear from you.
