About you You prosper in B2B new business roles and have significant success in generating new accounts – this is not an account‑management role; you create new opportunities through self‑sourced, decision‑maker conversations. You are resourceful and tenacious in building your pipeline – you possess a wide range of lead‑generation approaches and thrive on researching, cold calling, prospecting, door‑knocking, and vehicle spotting to uncover exciting leads. You understand that one‑size does not fit all – you can develop personalised, multi‑product/service offerings, including proposals and implementation documentation to deliver the perfect solution to your clients. You take pride in being an ambassador for your brand – you are a credible and assured networker who builds effective, profitable relationships with key stakeholders. Preferably, you have expertise in the light commercial vehicle market or contract hire sector, but we value your ability to take ownership of your performance and your desire to succeed.

We keep people and businesses moving, partnering with some of the country’s most well‑known organisations and earning a reputation for being at the forefront of the LCV sector.
