Business Development Manager

About you

You enjoy being out in the field, having proper conversations, and building relationships that last. You like spotting opportunities, opening doors, and turning trust into long term business. You are comfortable working autonomously and you enjoy having the space to do things your way.

You are commercially minded, curious, and motivated by progress rather than process. You do not need a script and you are at your best when you are trusted to get on with it.

You have solid experience in business development or sales within textiles, apparel, sportswear, fashion, or workwear. You have a clear track record of winning new business and growing accounts, and you can talk confidently about how you have achieved results.

You know how to sell solutions, not just products, and you are comfortable presenting, influencing, and building credibility with decision makers.

This is a newly created role, so you will be the first person in. You will have a genuine opportunity to shape and drive the external sales function, influence approach, and help build the foundations for future growth.

You will develop new business across the UK, manage your own territory, and build strong relationships within the textile, sports, fashion, and workwear sectors. You will work closely with internal teams, share insight from the market, and play a key role in pushing the business forward.

There are no comparisons to live up to and no legacy ways of working to inherit. You will help define what great looks like.

This is a globally recognised organisation working with some of the biggest brands in the world. The business is heavily invested in research and development, constantly bringing new ideas and innovation to market and driving real value into its customer base.

It is a company known for exceptionally strong staff retention. People join and they stay. Once you are in, you are in. You will be trusted, supported, and backed with high quality products, technology, and expertise to do your job properly.

If this has sparked your interest and you want to explore it properly, just get in touch. There is no need for a CV to start the conversation. A chat is all it takes to see if it feels right on both sides.
