* Promote industrial labelling, print-and-apply, coding and marking equipment, inkjet systems and bespoke automation solutions.
* Develop new customer relationships across manufacturing, FMCG, food, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors.
* Manage the full sales process, from initial prospecting and customer consultation through to negotiation and order completion.
* Maintain an accurate sales pipeline, account information and activity records through the CRM system.
* Work closely with internal teams to develop tailored, turnkey solutions that meet customer requirements.
* Travel throughout the UK and Northern Ireland for customer visits and occasional overnight business trips.
