Area salesperson/demonstrator manager

The Area Demonstration/Salesperson will be responsible for driving new business across all sectors, managing relationships with existing and new dealers, and supporting customers throughout their region. This hands-on role involves managing the full sales process, from initial inquiry to machine demonstration, delivery, and installation. The ideal candidate will have a practical background, some sales experience although this is not as essential as an enthusiastic attitude and the ability to “get on” with people.

We are interested in hearing from anyone who may think this role is for them, But we are particularly interested in candidates based in or willing to cover Western England & Wales or Scotland.
