This is a rare opportunity to work directly alongside the MD of an established Print and Design company that’s been trading successfully for over 20 years.
As a Business Development Manager, you’ll play pivotal role in driving business growth, shaping the company’s future direction, and seeing the results of your efforts first-hand. With clear progression opportunities to Sales Director, your impact will be both recognised and rewarded.
The business is a financially secure SME with a strong local reputation and a people-first culture – many of the team have been with the company for years and genuinely enjoy what they do.
You’ll benefit from flexibility, hybrid working, and a mature environment where you’re trusted to deliver results without micromanagement.
What You’ll Be Doing
This is an exciting role for a Business Development Manager who thrives on autonomy and wants to make a real difference in a creative, customer-focused industry.
You’ll take full ownership of the sales process for a company with a strong local reputation, selling a wide range of print and design solutions – from banners, signage, and exhibition materials, to packaging, branded collateral, and bespoke design services all under one roof.
This is very much a solution-led sale. You’ll work closely with clients to understand their projects and technical requirements, tailoring creative solutions to meet their needs. While the business already enjoys an excellent reputation, you’ll be expected to open new doors, build lasting relationships, and convert prospects into long-term customers.

£45,000 – £55,000 + Bonus
Company car or car allowance
Potential for revenue share/options over time
Hybrid working after initial training
Genuinely flexible, non-corporate environment
