Burton upon Trent, United Kingdom ASSIGNMENT MEDIA LTD Full time

We are currently seeking a new member to join our small magazine and events business based in Burton-on-Trent. We are looking for a dynamic and energetic new team member to sell trade stands across our five annual car/automotive events.


As Event Sales Manager at Assignment Media your role will entail:

  • The sale of exhibition/trader space to both existing and new clients for the Great British Land Rover Shows (x3), Great British Car Show and the Big Yellow Car Show.
  • Researching and building relationships with new clients via market research - online, socials and by regularly visiting competitor and county shows
  • Maintaining contact with existing customers to build rapport and retain the relationship
  • Assisting on the ground at our shows ensuring traders are happy and helping ensure everything is running smoothly
  • Selling multi-platform space across a variety of formats including in our print publications, online, email and social media


We're looking for someone who has excellent communication and presentation skills; possesses negotiation, time management and organisational skills and has a basic understanding of the car industry or an enthusiasm about cars.

The job is best suited to someone with an abundance of confidence and a strong drive to succeed, who is keen to chat to customers on the phone and face to face at events.


You'll need to be able to attend for some days in the office as well as spending time visiting relevant shows and events to speak to prospective new traders. This will mean working some weekends, and time will be given in lieu for this. A valid driver's licence and your own vehicle is therefore a mandatory requirement for this role. Your mileage and expenses for visiting shows will be paid.


This position is initially offered on a 6-month temporary contract with a view to making the position permanent thereafter. Exact hours, salary and commission will be agreed with the successful candidate.


We are asking that applicants research and return with their CV and covering letter a short initial list of companies who they would look to speak with regarding trading at:

Great British Land Rover Show Bath & West 2025: gblandrovershow.co.uk

Big Yellow Car Show 2025: bigyellowcarshow.co.uk

Great British Car Show 2025: greatbritishcarshow.co.uk


Please email your application to enquiries@assignment-media.co.uk.
