In just five years, post start-up, our client is a PE financially backed FMCG business with significant backing, already on plan to generate £20m annual sales line in 2025. Led by an impressive Board, the product range of branded Soft Drinks is a category busting, latest concept for consumers, always adapting to the trends in lifestyle beverages, which tops a £multibillion category in the UK alone.
With the combination of an iconic brand, a 15 strong organisation now in place, the opportunity in this growing category all has one thing in common – genuine credibility. Now it has trained its sights on championing its product sector in the booming Convenience and Impulse customer channels, whilst the online and retail channels enjoy exponential growth.
Highly motivated by the daily interactions in the trade, and a real ‘road warrior’, nationwide, hustling for growth, you will be no stranger to seeking deals and doing business with the likes of Spar, Booker, Blakemore’s, CJ Laing, James Hall, Appleby Westward, the list is endless!
A sales background from an FMCG environment today as an ambitious Sales Manager, you are now ready to step up. A hands-on working knowledge of Impulse and/or Convenience retail and Wholesale channels, including new businesses will be required. You will be driven by your early career success and thrive in the spotlight, certainly not shy of real ownership and empowerment.
We are looking for natural sales skill and experience, someone ready to step into this customer facing role. You’ll be known for your determination to achieve results and stand out from the crowd. Even better would be current knowledge of the soft drinks category.
This is your chance to make a name for yourself, your unbridled ambition, your commanding presence, and a down-to-earth realism to drive performance in your channel will earn you the unimaginable career rewards in the end.
