Harlequin Printing & Packaging is growing. Following continued investment in our South Wales facility, we are seeking an experienced, results‑driven Sales Executive to develop new business opportunities across the M4 Corridor and Southern England.

If you are a proactive business developer with a background in B2B sales—specifically within the food and beverage packaging sector—we would like to hear from you.

Territory: M4 Corridor & Southern England

Operating from our state‑of‑the‑art site in Llantrisant, we hold the prestigious BRCGS ‘AA’ Grade accreditation
. This enables us to manufacture both direct and indirect food contact packaging to the highest global standards of safety and hygiene.

Supported by our PEFC, FSC, SMETA, and ISO certifications, we provide a “quality‑first” proposition that allows our sales team to approach major food and retail brands with absolute confidence.

This is a New Business focused position. Your primary objective is to leverage our technical capabilities and certifications to secure and grow new accounts within your territory.

• Business Development: Proactively identify and engage with manufacturers and brands requiring high-specification, BRC-accredited litho and digital packaging.
• Consultative Approach: Use your industry expertise to demonstrate the value of BRC AA standards within the food supply chain.
• Territory Management: Take full ownership of the M4/South region, managing your own diary and pipeline to meet agreed growth targets.
• Collaboration: Work closely with our internal production and design teams to deliver bespoke, high-quality solutions for your clients.

• Proven Track Record: You have a successful background in proactive B2B sales and a natural ability to open doors with new prospects.
• Sector Knowledge: Experience in the print or packaging industry is essential. A working knowledge of direct food contact regulations is highly advantageous.
• Regional Expertise: You are well-versed in the M4 corridor and Southern England market.
• Professionalism: You are equally at home on a production floor as you are presenting in a boardroom.
• Self‑Motivation: You are target-oriented, disciplined, and proud to represent a leading UK manufacturer.

• Work for an established, award-winning manufacturer with a “Grade AA” reputation.
• High level of autonomy in a strategic sales territory.
