KAMs will also work closely with our Client Development Managers to mobilise new business and make sure that our partnership with new customers gets off to a positive and successful start.

As we pride ourselves on genuine partnerships, it is important that KAMs have excellent listening and questioning skills.

This will give an important insight into the specific needs of potential partners and how the apetito system can best help them.

KAMs will have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to quickly win the trust of a range of people that include Care Home owners, residents, loved ones and care & catering staff.


The KAM team has historically been a great introduction to apetito with successful KAMs going on to win promotion both within the Care Homes team and other apetito divisions.
