Job description
What will you need to do?
You’ll call existing B2B customers from all sorts of different sectors, collecting regular orders, building relationships and advising on the best snacks & promotions to suit their needs. You'll be key to growing their business month on month.
You’ll be an expert in quickly engaging busy customers to make them value your regular calls, listening carefully, and instinctively offering great advice on the latest products and promotions that will interest them.
You’ll be resilient and driven to achieve your numbers, but also understanding of the pressures on a customer's time. You’ll make sure your customers value your contact and make time for you in their busy schedules because of your product expertise, your deep understanding of their needs and your friendly rapport.
We’re already known as one of the leading wholesalers of the most exciting snacking brands but we need people like you to inspire and excite our customers, showing them how the hottest snack trends can make their business better.
Your main mission will be to help them make the most of our fantastic monthly promotions, educate them on the opportunities offered by our exciting product range, and keep them happy, loyal and coming back for more.

We’re a smaller, family company and we don’t have the bells and whistles offered by large city centre offices, but we do have a more personal touch, wide ranging responsibilities, and a real opportunity to help shape a winning culture in a growing team. We’d really like it if you could grow with us.
What you'll get in return:
- A competitive salary + monthly bonus;
- Annual profit share bonus when we beat our targets;
- Bespoke opportunities for training & development;
- Up to 25 days paid holiday + 8 bank holidays;

- A great staff discount across our range;
- Access to our special app offering really useful discounts at highstreet shops, restaurants & activities;
- Personal finance advice hub & preferential finance products;
- Bike to Work scheme;
- Free drinks and snacks.
A Flexible, Hybrid approach that suits you
We’re happy to consider a flexible hybrid approach if working from home gives you the opportunity to focus and achieve your best. After the first month on-site training, we’d be open to working from home for 1 or 2 days per week (where internet connections allow).
Your normal working hours?
Full time: 40 hours per week, 8.30am – 5.00 pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
