They make things out of metal, pressings, stampings, and complex fabricated parts and they're very good at it. How they do it is a bit more complex, but they'll teach you all about it and equip you with all the knowledge and tools you'll need to bring on new customers. Their customer list customers include some massive names you'd recognise and plenty of smaller firms who are 2nd/3rd Tier suppliers to the bigger market players so there's lots of success stories for you to leverage to win new clients. Here's the deal: They currently turn over good numbers without a dedicated Sales/Marketing function and have lucrative long-term contracts in place with companies who are known globally. Most of their growth comes from existing customers or word of mouth but that can only help them grow so far. To expand their customer base, they need someone who can sell What they need: Someone proactive who can get off their backside and actually speak to and visit potential customers. Not just send emails but get on the phone, arrange meetings at their premises and have conversations. You'll be: Hunting new prospects (with our online portal and your own brain) Visiting existing customers to find more opportunities Going to trade shows (sometimes on your own, but will have Director Support where needed) Building the digital presence - New website is incoming, but your ideas will help shape the rest of the digital strategy Travelling internationally when needed Working closely with the Technical Director to match services/products with what the customers need What's in it for you? 27-30K base salary Car allowance Company car available for customer visits Bonuses for visits, quotes, and wins (uncapped) Ongoing commission from customers you bring in (for as long as you work here) What you need to be: Experienced in metalwork/fabrication (we're not training you from scratch) Comfortable travelling regularly A self-starter who doesn't need babysitting Someone who actually enjoys meeting new people Thick-skinned enough to handle rejection The reality: Ideally, you'll be based in the Northwest, as they're based near Altrincham, but expect to spend time on the road. You'll have a desk, but once you get going, your real office is your car and where you're meeting customers. This isn't for everyone. If you want to sit at a desk all day sending LinkedIn messages, look elsewhere. But if you want to make a real impact in a profitable business that's serious about growth, and you're not afraid of proper sales work, then we should talk. Ready to help them smash through their revenue targets for 2025/2026 and beyond? Send your CV and tell us why they need to be speaking with you!
