My privately owned client was formed forty plus years ago and provide high quality cleaning, window cleaning and ground maintenance services throughout the southern half of the country including sites in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, London, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Dorset. Their client base includes Housing Associations, property and FM companies, offices, residential care homes, business parks, industrial estates, private estates, local authorities, surgeries & Health Centres, universities and schools. Their current turnover is in excess of £20m. I am currently working in partnership with them to find an experienced sales professional to join them as Head of Business Development. This is a new role for the business. Historically the Managing Director has undertaken the sales function, but as the company continues to grow, he does not have the time to devote to this important task anymore. Therefore, we are looking for a candidate who has enough sales experience in this sector to hit the ground running (and who ideally has contacts in the housing association business sector or at least has an excellent knowledge of the tender processes required for public sector bids) who has the ability to get on and set up and manage a dedicated sales department. Obviously there will be for initial training/imparting knowledge/support etc from the MD, but the emphasis really is on someone who as vast sales experience and knowledge, so will need minimal hand-holding.

Full time
My privately owned client was formed forty plus years ago and provide high quality cleaning, window cleaning and ground maintenance services throughout the southern half of the country including sites in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, London, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Dorset. Their client base includes Housing Associations, property and FM companies, offices, residential care homes, business parks, industrial estates, private estates, local authorities, surgeries & Health Centres, universities and schools. Their current turnover is in excess of £20m. I am currently working in partnership with them to find an experienced sales professional to join them as Head of Business Development. This is a new role for the business. Historically the Managing Director has undertaken the sales function, but as the company continues to grow, he does not have the time to devote to this important task anymore.
