Business Development Manager

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
£base + unrivalled commission

Become part of an internationally recognised Group to help shape the next generation of packaging sales in the UK.

This is not a "smile and dial" sales role. It is a strategic business development position focused on high-quality, long-term customer growth.

You'll be joining a long-established business who are actively modernising the sector through technology, innovation and ambitious commercial leadership who are focused on accelerating growth and market share.

The opportunity:

Manage and convert a steady flow of qualified inbound opportunities
Build strategic relationships with brand owners and decision-makers
Develop a high-value sales pipeline across Food, FMCG, Retail and Premium Packaging
Work alongside a fast-moving commercial team already delivering strong growth
Sell genuinely market-leading packaging capability and print technology

Why this role stands out:

Extensive warm, qualified leads per day entering the business
Unique market capability
Backed by international manufacturing operations in Europe
Long-term earning potential with uncapped commission
Opportunity to build meaningful accounts rather than chase low-margin volumn

Who we want:

A commercially sharp BDM with a modern approach to winning business
Someone energetic, curious and proactive
Packaging or print experience is helpful, but mindset matters more
Strong Account Managers looking to step into new business will also be considered
Comfortable managing longer sales cycles and strategic opportunities

If you want to join a business genuinely evolving its industry - and be part of building its next phase of growth, we'd like to speak with you.
