Our client is a leading distributor within their industry and, due to continued growth, is looking to recruit an ambitious and driven Business Development Executive to join their team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially focused individual who enjoys building long-term customer relationships, identifying new business opportunities, and providing technical solutions to clients.
