Demonstrable success in hunting for and winning new customers.
Experience selling engineered components, industrial products, manufacturing solutions or technical hardware.
Comfortable engaging with engineers, designers, OEMs and manufacturing stakeholders.
Able to understand technical applications and deliver specification-led sales solutions.
Willing to travel regularly throughout the UK and Ireland.
Full UK driving licence.
