REGIONAL SALES MANAGER - MIDLANDS & NORTH - HOUSEBUILDER CHANNEL

£40-45000 (Dependent On Experience) 20% Bonus Car/Allowance

Field Based Hybrid Role

M5/M6 Corridor - West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire

If you had the choice between selling:

a) Standard building products that are the same as a million other companies' products.

b) A highly desirable, innovative MMC product.

Which would you pick?

If you went for option a) then, sorry, you're not the person our client is looking for. Enjoy trying to find the unique selling point of a brick.

However, if you chose option b), you could be a good match for this role. Because that's the essence of our client's business and they want to grow their company by increasing sales.

So, that's where you come in.

They want you to focus on building relationships with architects, housebuilders, and ground workers to position their products early in the process. The ultimate aim is to create long-term relationships where our client's products are specified in the initial plans.

As for your background, there is a technical element to this role which you'll need to understand when talking to clients. So, a building and construction qualification would be perfect, but our client is also happy to consider your experience in the construction industry. The main point is that you will understand the tendering process in the industry and know how to specification sell.

Ultimately, a core characteristic will be your drive and ambition to beat your sales targets and grow with the business.

This is primarily a field-based role, covering the Southern Home Counties in/around M5/M6 corridor so if you are located in the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire this would be an ideal role for you.

So, to start the process, please submit your CV, quoting reference LX 1052946 to or call us on 44 (0)1905 381 320.

KEY ACCOUNT MANAGER - FMCG RETAIL CHANNEL

"A Key Account Manager position in an established, Global premium homewares business"

£30-40000 (Dependent on Experience/Negotiable) + 20% Bonus + Car Allowance & Benefits

Hybrid  National Field/Home Based Role - HO in Thames Valley/Oxfordshire

Having carved a successful career in sales, you'll have learned that there's nothing more depressing than trying to sell a low-quality, cheap, mass-produced product. You end up clutching at straws trying to sell obvious features like, "Our tables have four legs and a wipe-clean surface". Not easy, is it?

So, imagine selling a premium product range where every aspect of the user's experience is carefully considered and built into the design. Speciality homeware that immediately sells itself on its striking visual appeal and functionality.

Sound like a better prospect?

Having already established their brand in high-end retailers like John Lewis, our client is now focusing on building relationships with other quality retail outlets. And that's where you'll come in with your existing knowledge of selling into companies like QVC, Robert Dyas, Argos, Dunelm, Very, Next, or Homebase, to name but a few.

However, as well as creating business with new customers, there are many opportunities to increase sales with existing customers who aren't aware of our client's complete product range.

As for you, our client is relaxed about your qualifications. But excellent written and verbal communications skills will be essential to your success in this role. In addition, you must have previous experience managing key accounts with major retailers. Location isn't too important as this is primarily a field-based role, but you will need to be able to attend the company HQ in Oxfordshire.

To indicate your interest in this role, please submit your details, quoting reference LX 1045846 or call us on 44 (0)1905 381 320.

Head of International Logistics Development

"Logistics network strategy definition, development, and implementation. The perfect role for a talented and visionary leader."

£Very Competitive Excellent Benefits

Buckinghamshire HQ (Hybrid Working with some International Travel)

What do you know about strategic logistics network design for warehousing and distribution?

Hopefully, it's plenty as that knowledge will be essential for your success in this role for our client.

But don't misunderstand; this isn't a solutions design role. It's far more than that as you'll be taking charge of our client's logistics and distribution network in the UK, EU, and APAC, developing, and implementing strategies and solutions which will transform our client's global operations and support ambitious growth plans. As such you will be a strong visionary leader with a track record of strategic logistics network development and design.

Over the years, our client has built an impressive business manufacturing and supplying seasonal and promotions-led consumer products to leading retail, wholesale, and ecommerce channels. They've grown organically and through acquisition and now want to streamline and improve their logistics, warehousing, and distribution facilities. The UK facility needs to be automated. Then they would like a new DC in the EU - possibly Germany or Netherlands, then an APAC facility to service their Australian/Asian markets.

So that's where you come in.

Due to the nature of the role, our client has some essential specifics that you'll have to demonstrate in your background. You'll need to be familiar with wholesale, retail, and e-commerce operations for a start. Experience in 3PL is critical, and we mentioned solutions design earlier, as that's also a vital area of expertise they would like to see combined with programme/project management to drive and facilitate warehousing operational excellence and continuous improvement projects, guide, and coach local operational and project teams. Most importantly you will also lead a programme of works in relation to process design and the implementation of MHE and automation within existing and new Distribution Centres.

Although this role has no direct reports, you will work in partnership with cross functional stakeholders and experienced warehousing and logistics colleagues across continents, to identify and develop scaleable solutions to optimise operations and boost productivity.

This role would suit a degree educated, highly numerate and analytic logistics professional who possesses practical experience of 3PL solutions design in warehouse and material flow planning, automation and the associated cost modelling, analytics, and commercial business cases. This should ideally be combined with progression into logistics project/programme management. Finally, as this role is part of the strategic succession plan to VP level, our client is ultimately seeking candidates who also have strong strategic and operational leadership experience.

Exposure to logistics modelling tools (CLASS, CAST, Logility, Llamasoft) would be advantageous. Advanced MS skills including Excel, Visio, Project and Powerpoint will be a prerequisite. A track record of planning and management of multiple projects, with demonstrable ROI will be critical to success. Prince2 and Black Belt Six Sigma would be advantageous. Experience of AutoCAD would also be advantageous

Whilst third party contract logistics solutions design experience, with the focus on warehousing, will be a key requirement, your operational excellence, project management and strategic and operational leadership experience may have been gained either within 3PL or inhouse within a FMCG retail or FMCG manufacturing environment. Exposure to pan European and International project management would be the icing on the cake.

Overall, this role will provide the platform for you to become a central part of our client's operations and lead to future progression opportunities to the top level of the business.

There's plenty more detail to discuss about this role, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV quoting reference LX 944991

GRADUATE TRAINEE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT

£Very Competitive Benefits Commission/Bonus

Nr Pershore, Worcestershire

What's your mental picture when you think of a Recruitment Consultant?

You'll probably think of a power-dressing, sales beast with an expensive watch and loud voice who uses phrases like 'Work hard, play hard' and 'Go hard or go home'.

If you fancy a career in recruitment based on that picture, then you're not for us. Sorry, but we need someone very different.

Why?

Because we're the type of recruitment agency that uses the word 'professional' in its purest sense. During the past thirty-five years, we've built our business by giving our customers a high-quality, professional service. It's a simple but effective policy as they keep coming back to us for their recruitment requirements.

We now need to expand our team and want to invest in someone like you to become a successful and professional recruitment consultant. And we prefer the word 'invest' than 'train' because, like all good investments, we're in it for the long term and know that we have to allow time for our investment to mature.

Our first investment is paying for you to gain a recognised NVQ level 2 or 3 qualification in recruitment. Alongside that, we also have our own in-house and online learning courses to support you even further plus external recruitment coaching and training with some of the UK's best recruitment trainers.

While you're learning the theory through these highly structured courses, we will give you practical experience by placing you alongside an experienced recruitment consultant. There's no substitute for practical learning and having that mentor to guide you through the recruitment process is a crucial part of your development.

And we know all of that learning takes time, so we have realistic expectations that you will focus your first three to six months on education, not billing. Our experience tells us that the billing takes care of itself in the future if we get the learning part right.

As for your background, we expect you to be degree qualified in a business or technical discipline and have a desire to work in a sales-based role. Like all sales roles, your personality will dictate your success and having natural confidence with the ability to communicate clearly and maturely with people will be critical to your career.

With much of our training being in-house via local training providers or via webinar, you will need to live within a commutable distance of our offices near Worcester, so possible locations could include Worcester, Cheltenham, Pershore, Gloucester, Warwick, Stratford, Kidderminster, Droitwich or Stourbridge, Hereford, Ledbury, Evesham, Malvern, Redditch, Alcester, Bromsgrove, Stourport.
