The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and developing a portfolio of existing customers, re-engaging previous users of services, and generating business opportunities from an extensive company database.

Manage and develop relationships with existing customers across the Northwest region.
Reactivate lapsed and non-current customers through regular contact and relationship building.

Work closely with an experienced operational team member who will provide technical and industry support.
Maintain regular communication with customers via telephone, email, and face-to-face meetings.
Produce accurate customer records and updates using company systems.
Develop a strong understanding of customer requirements and provide suitable service solutions.
As the Business Development/Account Manager, will you have the following skills;
Previous experience in Business Development, Account Management or Sales.
Background within Freight Forwarding, Manufacturing, Warehousing, Industrial Services, Distribution, or a similar B2B environment.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
Comfortable visiting customers and developing business opportunities throughout the Northwest.
A professional and trustworthy individual who can work independently and represent the business positively.
Full UK driving licence.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys developing long-term customer relationships rather than working in a high-pressure sales environment. You will inherit an established database of current and previous customers, receive strong operational support from experienced colleagues, and join a stable business where many team members have built long service careers
