Are you a driven sales professional with a passion for winning new business?
Do you thrive on developing fresh opportunities and building long-term partnerships?

We’re recruiting an Business Development Manager for a leading foodservice supplier, covering the Lake District. This role is perfect for someone who loves being out in the field, opening doors, and growing a territory through proactive, strategic new business development.

In this fast-paced, autonomous role, around 80% of your focus will be on generating new business, with the remaining 20% on nurturing and developing existing accounts.

What you’ll be doing as a Business Development Manager:

    Proactively identify, target, and convert new customers across the Lake District.

  * 

    Build a strong pipeline through canvassing, networking, and local market insight.

  * 

    Present tailored solutions that showcase value, quality, and commercial advantage.

Grow and retain existing accounts

  * 

    Strengthen relationships with current customers, ensuring exceptional service and retention.

  * 

    Identify growth opportunities by analysing spend, spotting gaps, and optimising product mix.

Drive commercial performance

  * 

    Deliver sustainable sales and profit growth in line with ambitious territory targets.

  * 

    Use market knowledge to spot trends, competitor activity, and emerging opportunities.

Collaborate to deliver a great customer experience

  * 

    Partner with internal Category Specialists to support customer development and menu solutions.

Stay accountable

  * 

    Maintain accurate reporting, ensuring KPIs such as call rate, pipeline activity, and new business wins are met.

What we’re looking for:

  * 

    A results-driven Business Development Manager with a strong background in new business development.

  * 

    Proven ability to exceed targets and grow a territory from both new and existing customers.

  * 

    Excellent communication skills with the ability to build rapport quickly.

  * 

    Commercially astute, proactive, and confident working independently.

  * 

    A full UK driving licence.

What’s on offer:

  * 

    £38,000 - £42,000 base salary

  * 

    £7,000 car allowance

  * 

    Uncapped OTE of £12-£15k+

  * 

    Contributory pension scheme

  * 

    25 days holiday + bank holidays

  * 

    A wide range of additional company benefits

This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of the Lake District territory, drive significant new business growth, and make a real impact within a market-leading organisation known for quality, service, and strong customer partnerships.
