  • Drive business development by actively seeking new clients and onboarding them onto the Tuffnells platform.

  • Provide a high level of customer service, addressing client needs during collection visits and escalating issues as appropriate.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with SME clients, handling daily collections and becoming a reliable point of contact.
  • Manage collections for a designated geographical area, acting as the face of Tuffnells for local clients.
  • Wear branded clothing and apply vehicle branding to build Tuffnells' visibility and credibility in your region.
  • Meet collection volume goals to increase earnings through additional SME acquisitions and consignment pickups.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport and trust with clients.
  • Proven experience in driving, with a reliable vehicle suited for regional collections and deliveries.
  • Self-motivated and organised, with the ability to manage your schedule and meet collection targets independently.
  • Familiarity with using basic digital tools for client sign-ups, navigation, and order tracking.
  • Commitment to representing the Tuffnells brand, including wearing branded clothing and presenting a professional appearance.

Benefits:

  • Competitive rates and opportunity to earn additional revenue.
  • Clear progression opportunities, including building and leading a local team.
  • Be part of an exciting, fast-scaling business with ambitious growth plans.
