Looking to break into the drinks industry with a business that's going places?
We're recruiting a Business Development Manager to join one of the UK’s fastest-growing drinks businesses as it enters an exciting new phase of growth. With turnover set to double over the next 12 months, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where you'll have genuine influence and play a key role in its continued commercial success.
Already established across the North West with a growing customer base and strong reputation in the on-trade, the business is now investing in further expansion. They're looking for an ambitious, relationship-driven salesperson to grow existing accounts while winning new business across pubs, bars and other licensed venues.
This is a field-based role offering plenty of autonomy, giving you the opportunity to build long-term customer relationships, identify new commercial opportunities, and make a real impact on the growth of the business. You'll have the freedom to manage your own territory while being supported by a passionate and ambitious team.
