Overview
This is a rare opportunity to work directly alongside the MD of an established Print and Design company that s been trading successfully for over 20 years.
As a Business Development Manager, you ll play pivotal role in driving business growth, shaping the company s future direction, and seeing the results of your efforts first-hand. With clear progression opportunities to Sales Director, your impact will be both recognised and rewarded.

You ll benefit from flexibility, hybrid working, and a mature environment where you re trusted to deliver results without micromanagement.
What You ll Be Doing
