• Experience within lighting, electrical wholesale, manufacturing or a related industry would be advantageous.
• A confident and proactive sales leader who can motivate a team.
• Experience managing people and driving performance is essential.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Someone who looks for opportunities rather than waiting for them to come in.

Package

• £40,000 - £45,000 salary
• Commission / bonus structure
• Manchester-based opportunity
• Opportunity to take ownership of and develop an established internal sales function
• Long-term progression within a growing business
