About the Role
We’re working with a well-established and growing UK food ingredients business that supplies the independent food processing sector to appoint a Business Development Executive for the North East.
This is a hands-on, field-based role offering real autonomy, clear ownership of your territory and the opportunity to build long-term, meaningful customer relationships.
The Opportunity
You’ll take full responsibility for driving sales growth across the North East, working closely with independent butchers, farm shops and rural food producers.
This role would suit someone who enjoys being out in the field, building rapport with customers and balancing new business development with ongoing account management. You’ll quickly become a trusted face within a close-knit and loyal customer base.
