Job Description
I am working with one of the world’s leading and most well-known manufacturing brands who have an outstanding track record and reputation for innovation and quality. This commitment to quality, innovation, and their people make them an excellent company to work with and their reputation as an employer is every bit as strong as their reputation as a manufacturing company.
They are now looking for a Business Development Manager to join their Home Improvement & Distribution Division and sell into some of the largest and most well-known distributors throughout the UK and Europe.
