Wiltshire Farm Foods exists to serve and “make a real difference” to our customers . We aim to provide great food with superb personal service, where every contact brings a little sunshine to our customers lives .

Together, we work intently every day, to ensure that we exceed the expectations of our customers at every opportunity . To our older customers we know that our friendship as well as our food, is important to them .

We are committed to understanding our customers, listening to their voice, and continuously finding ways to make our service even better. We have a continuous programme of initiatives and innovations, with a relentless focus on product quality. We strive to make every meal, the perfect meal, delivered from our home in Wiltshire via our local teams directly to the customer.

Our team are proud to work at Wiltshire Farm Foods and make a real difference to the customers we are privileged to serve.

We have a unique opportunity. We allow our customers to stay independent and at home, where they want to be.

The Role and Team

Engaging with local communities is a key priority of Wiltshire Farm Foods. The role of the Business Development Executive is a new exciting position which builds connections with Healthcare Professionals, local GPs, local charities, and community groups engaged in supporting the needs of the elderly in the community.

The Business Development Executive will work in consultation with Retail Sales and Operations Managers (RSOM), as well as our Wiltshire Farm Foods Professional division, to devise and implement an agreed plan which delivers 5% order growth and unit growth, through the connections made.

The role covers Birmingham and the surrounding areas and reports directly into the RSOM; however, you will be responsible for managing your time and diary . The successful candidate will have a proven track record of building and maintain relationships as their primary responsibility will be to develop relationships with new and existing customers. These relationships will enable you to raise awareness and educate others on the Wiltshire Farm Foods solution, ultimately promoting business growth.
