Horticulture Sales Executive
Hampshire - On-site
£Negotiable plus bonus
Got a passion for plants and great people skills?
Want to join a respected, growing wholesale nursery with a reputation for quality?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a long-established wholesale grower supplying a wide range of plants to landscapers, designers, and trade customers nationwide.
They're growing, literally and figuratively, and are looking for a confident, plant-savvy individual to fill their brand-new Sales Executive role.
What's in it for you?
* Competitive salary (DOE)
* Annual discretionary bonus (typically 5-10% of salary)
* 20 days holiday + bank holidays (with two-week Christmas shutdown)
* Great working hours (7:30 am-4:00 pm)
* Full-time, permanent role with genuine stability and development opportunities
* Join a friendly, supportive team where you'll be valued for your knowledge and initiative.
The Role
As a Sales Executive, you'll be part of a small, knowledgeable team working with trade customers across the UK.
This is a busy, varied role with a mix of sales, customer service, and stock management responsibilities.
Day-to-day, you'll:
* Communicate with customers via phone and email, processing orders and managing expectations.
* Handle face-to-face sales with visitors on site (appointments and drop-ins)
* Support trade customers ranging from experienced landscapers to newcomers in horticulture.
* Advise on plant suitability, specifications, and availability.
* Help coordinate dispatch and ensure orders are processed accurately.
* Update stock levels and manage data across 9,000+ lines using their in-house system (training provided).
* Assist with stock control and occasional physical tasks like helping load smaller orders.
* Collaborate closely with the wider sales and operations teams to keep everything running smoothly.
This isn't a cold-calling or business development role - customers come to you. It's about building trust, understanding their needs, and guiding them to the right plants.
About You
* You’ll have experience working in a commercial nursery, garden centre or plant sales environment.
* Confident communicator who enjoys building relationships and managing multiple enquiries.
* Comfortable talking to plants with a range of customers - from expert landscapers to those still learning.
* Solid computer literacy with the ability to pick up new systems quickly.
* Hands‑on and proactive - you’re as comfortable walking the nursery as you are handling customer calls.
* Organised, accurate, and calm under pressure.
* Team player who takes pride in excellent service and a job well done.
