Area Sales Manager

My client, a manufacturer of specialist catering equipment, is looking to appoint an Area Sales Manager to cover the South West of England territory incorporating Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

With an established and innovative product range familiar to all in the commercial catering sector, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a true market leader.

I am looking for applicants with a background in food service sales, whether that is selling food or non-food catering equipment or disposables to the catering and hospitality sector. Candidates with a Chef or culinary background and a passion for cooking would be of real interest to my client.

The role will involve advising, demonstrating and selling these fantastic products to end‑user customers and catering dealers and distributors. Customers include pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals, care homes and contract caterers. The role will also entail close working with key catering dealers, distributors and kitchen design companies.

For the successful candidate, my client is offering a competitive package: a good basic salary, very achievable commission and bonus (historically the sales team have earned up to 80% of their bonus). A company car, mobile phone, laptop, pension and healthcare are also part of the package.

This is a great chance to work for one of the best brands in the sector, offering career stability and great training.
