Birmingham, United Kingdom Acheson + Glover Full time

Since our establishment more than 60 years ago as Acheson & Glover Limited, we have sought to provide opportunities for our team to build careers - rather than just hold down a job.

Our people matter to us. We care about their well-being (their Health and Safety) and we want to see them become the very best they can be.

We are now recruiting for a **Specification Consultant (GB, Midlands Region)** to join our growing team.

Due to continued growth, AG are seeking to recruit an experienced Specification Consultant for the Midlands region. The main purpose of the role is to meet with key customer groups such as Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers and Local Authorities to develop their knowledge and awareness of AG products and solutions and securing AG product specifications.

- With the support of the sales support team you will be expected to attend a set number of meetings per week and a minimum of 50 CPDs per year.

- Provide monthly reports on trends and sales performance.
- To manage all customer contact information through use of the CRM system.
- To contribute to new marketing concepts and initiatives as and when required.
