Want the freedom to grow your own territory, build long term client relationships, and earn strong commission while doing it?

We are recruiting for a Business Development Manager to join a growing and ambitious foodservice business covering the North East region.

This is a field based role ideal for someone based around Harrogate, Ripon or North Yorkshire who enjoys building relationships, developing accounts, and identifying new business opportunities.

This is not a hard sales environment focused on quick wins. The business is built around partnership led selling, helping customers improve efficiency, reduce costs, enhance product quality, and deliver better nutritional value across their food offering.

If you come from a foodservice or FMCG sales background and enjoy managing relationships while driving commercial growth, this could be the perfect opportunity.

What you'll be doing

You will manage and grow your own territory across the North East, developing both existing customer relationships and new business opportunities.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing and developing existing customer accounts
Winning new business across your territory
Building long term client relationships
Working towards sales and margin targets
Advising customers on ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency
Providing insight into food quality and nutritional value
Identifying opportunities to increase product range and customer spend
Supporting company campaigns and promotions
Maintaining a healthy sales pipeline
Delivering excellent customer service throughout

What we're looking for

We are looking for someone commercially minded, relationship focused, and motivated to grow a successful territory.

You will ideally have:

A proven sales background within the foodservice industry or FMCG sector
Experience within field sales, account management, or business development
Strong relationship building and account management skills
A consultative and customer focused sales approach
The ability to identify customer needs and provide value led solutions
Strong communication and organisational skills
A target driven mindset with strong commercial awareness
The ability to manage your own territory effectively
A full UK driving licence

What you'll get in return

£40,000 basic salary
Car allowance
Uncapped bonus commission structure
Company pension and benefits package
Autonomy and flexibility in your role
Career progression opportunities within a growing business
Supportive and forward thinking leadership team

Why this role stands out

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business that genuinely values relationships over transactional sales.

You will have the opportunity to make a real impact within your territory, work with a quality product offering, and build long term partnerships with customers across the region.
