At Ian Mankin, we’re renowned for accessible elegance—timeless, natural-fibre fabrics woven in our own traditional family-run mill in Lancashire. Since 1983, we’ve combined heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainability to create fabrics that last for generations.
We’re looking for a Sales Coordinator to be the first point of contact for our valued trade customers, both in the UK and Internationally. You’ll help them choose the perfect fabrics, ensure their orders run smoothly, and represent the quality and values of our brand at every step.

* Process orders accurately and efficiently using our ERP system (Odoo)
* Ensure compliance with sales, tax, and export regulations
* Knowledge of incoterms and basic export processes
* Maintain meticulous order and customer records
* Represent Ian Mankin at trade shows when required, usually twice a year.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in sales or sales administration – ideally in the fabrics, textiles, or interiors industry
* Knowledge of interior furnishing fabrics (or a keen willingness to learn)
* Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
* Excellent communication skills, written and verbal
* Proficiency with ERP systems and Microsoft Office
Why You’ll Love Working Here
* Friday afternoons off – start your weekend early
* Profit-share bonus – share in the success you help create
* Generous staff discount on all our beautiful fabrics and home accessories
* Be part of a supportive, passionate team
* Work in a company that values heritage, quality, and sustainability
