Our client is a well-established and highly respected business based in Telford, currently experiencing an exciting phase of sustained growth and transformation. With a strong and successful core business, they have spent recent years diversifying their client base; creating greater stability, increasing project volume, and opening the door to entirely new markets.

This evolution has already led to success in several new and unrelated sectors, with significant untapped potential still to explore. As a result, the business is now investing in its future by creating a brand-new Sales Manager position; a pivotal role focused on driving new client acquisition and unlocking further growth opportunities.

As Sales Manager, you will take ownership of new business development activity, playing a key role in the company's continued expansion. From market analysis through to client engagement and deal conversion, you'll be instrumental in driving growth.
