*A proven ability to develop new business and grow existing customer accounts.
*Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
*A self-motivated approach, with the confidence to manage and develop your own territory.
*A practical, hands-on attitude – you’ll need to be comfortable getting your hands dirty and confident working around livestock.
*A full UK driving licence.


What’s on Offer?
*Basic salary of £30,000 – £38,000 depending on experience.
*Uncapped commission of 8% on sales profit. circa £20,000
*Company vehicle.
*Company laptop and mobile phone.
*Company credit card.
*Company pension.
*Health and wellbeing programme.
*Sick pay.
*Home-based working with autonomy to manage your own diary and territory.


The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, family-run business where you won’t just be managing an established territory – you’ll have the opportunity to shape it, develop it and directly influence its future success.
