About the Role
UK Staffing Group are recruiting on behalf of a well-established, family-owned business within the wholesale and hospitality sector for a Sales Administrator.
This is far more than a standard customer service or administration role. Working as the first point of contact for customers, you'll play a key role in ensuring orders are processed efficiently, deliveries run smoothly and customers receive an exceptional level of service. As you develop, you'll build relationships with your own customer base, work alongside the sales team and identify opportunities to grow existing accounts.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that genuinely invests in its people, promotes from within and offers a long-term career rather than just another job.
What's On Offer?
- £28,000 salary
- Genuine career progression into Customer Account Management or Sales
- Family-owned business with exceptional staff retention
- 22 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Enhanced pension scheme
- Staff discount on products
- Free on-site parking
- Positive, high-performing team environment
- Long-term career opportunities
