We are supporting an established independent logistics provider in the search for an experienced Business Development Manager to contribute to continued growth.
The business delivers end-to-end freight forwarding solutions across Sea, Road and Air, working with a broad range of customers to provide practical and cost-effective logistics support.
This role will suit a commercially minded individual who is confident developing new business opportunities and managing relationships across the full sales cycle.
