About the Company
Our client is expanding their UK operation following the successful introduction of their global brand into the UK market. They are a forward-thinking technical supplier with a strong sustainability agenda, and technology that outperforms many competitors.
With a UK marketing budget in place and future investment planned, now is the perfect time to join this growing team.
The Role
As an Internal Sales Executive, you'll play a key role in driving revenue, strengthening customer relationships, and supporting the growth of the UK operation. This is a commercially minded role where pace, organisation and follow-up are crucial.
You'll manage incoming enquiries, proactively generate new business, and work closely with existing customers to develop their accounts through upselling, cross-selling, and understanding their ongoing product and parts requirements.
This is not a "scripted" environment - you'll use your own logic, common sense, and commercial thinking to make effective decisions and spot opportunities.
Key Responsibilities:
Sales & Customer Engagement

- Provide accurate quotations using an in-house system and maintain a history of parts and pricing.
- Chase outstanding quotes with pace and consistency.
- Follow up sales and online enquiries.
- Re-engage dormant and lapsed accounts.
- Support sustainability initiatives by increasing refurbishment sales.
Business Development
- Build long-term relationships across a large, approved network of UK resellers.
- Contact prospective automation businesses and possible new partners.
- Spot upselling and cross-selling opportunities within existing accounts.
- Contribute to expanding the UK presence as the marketing plan grows.
Training and Support
- Ensure all quote and order information is accurate before handover to the Support Team.
- Produce a simple month-end report using Excel to support process reviews, training needs, and business development planning.
- Keep up to date with pricing, products, competitor activity, and market trends.
- Complete a structured training programme and use the team's training booklet to support development.
What We're Looking For:
Experience & Skills
- Strong background in internal sales and customer engagement.
- Confident on the phone with excellent communication skills.
- Comfortable working to time-sensitive tasks and managing multiple quotes.
- Strong numeracy - able to understand margins, percentages & commercial pricing.
- Good grasp of Outlook, Excel, and structured admin processes.
- Ability to follow procedures while also using commercial judgement.
- Logical, organised and able to work at pace.
Personal Qualities
- Proactive, resilient and self-motivated.
- Professional, well-presented, and confident in an Internal Sales role.
- Results-driven, with a collaborative team mindset.
- Able to "find your feet" quickly and contribute to a small, growing UK team.
What's in it for You?
- Join a growing UK team at an exciting stage of expansion.
- Competitive basic salary.
- Work with a highly respected technical brand.
- Supportive team culture with ongoing training and monthly development reviews.
