Business Development Executive

2 months ago

Edenbridge, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Overview
37.5 hours per week, any 5 in 6 days (Monday-Saturday).

This is an exciting new position which will focus on growing our business through raising brand awareness and encouraging recommendations.

You will build connections with local Healthcare Professionals, GP surgeries, charities, and community groups engaged in supporting the needs of the elderly in the community.

You will report into the Retail Sales and Operations Manager and collaborate with our Wiltshire Farm Foods Professional division to devise and implement a plan to deliver 5% order and unit growth.

Your territory will mainly cover North Kent: Redhill at the edge of the Surrey border and Tunbridge Wells, through to our Whitstable depot in East Kent, and you will be responsible for managing your time and diary across the areas.
