The Opportunity As Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for driving growth with both new and existing customers across Edinburgh and the East of Scotland.

Stability and support: part of a market-leading group with multiple regional businesses and a long history of success.
Environment: a sector where customers are straightforward, relationships matter, and trusted suppliers are highly valued.
