Your new company
Our client has a history stretching back over 100 years and even though the leadership team have only been in charge for 10 years, they have worked hard to keep the family feel to their culture. They are proud of their track record of developing and cross-training their staff, very low staff turnover and how they run their business in a very egalitarian way with everyone earning bonuses based on the profitability of the company. As the business targets an increase in their turnover by 50% over the next few years, they need to recruit this new position in to a small but critical and respected team.

Your new role
Your job will be to take a new order from enquiry to quote to order to fulfilment, and this will include answering questions from their loyal customer base, liaison with the purchasing team, completion of import & export paperwork and promotion and cross-selling, particularly to overseas customers.
The job will be based in the office 5 days per week and, in the future, you could be leading the department or, if you find that you have a passion for another area of focus, there’s every chance that as the business grows then you will have the opportunity for a sideways move, so there’s plenty of future potential for you in this company.

What you’ll need to succeed
Essential - our client can only consider applicants with experience of completion of the requisite paperwork for the import and export of goods. A track record of promotion or cross-selling is also critical for your application to be successful, so please make sure it is either detailed in your CV or included in a cover letter.

What you’ll get in return
This job has a good salary for the local area, but this is enhanced with a generous bonus scheme, paid quarterly and an extra bonus over the festive season that can add on up to an extra 20-25% to your salary.
The company has big plans that are very realistic for growth and you’ll be a significant player in that growth which will be recognised and rewarded by the leadership team in terms of your own personal and career growth.
There’s private healthcare, critical illness cover, death in service benefits all to support you and your family should the worst happen and a good holiday allowance starting at 22 days plus the 8 bank holidays too.
