14. Comfortable managing and growing accounts post-conversion.
15. Highly proactive and target-driven.

20. Christmas supplier gifts (you’ll be spoiled, genuinely).
21. 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays.
22. Office closes for Christmas (3-4 days of holiday used).
23. Wellbeing breaks: 15 mins in the morning, 1 hour lunch, 15 mins in the afternoon.
24. Monday to Friday only – no bank holidays or weekends.
