Business Manager

Business Manager – Drive Growth Across Cumbria, Lancashire & South West Scotland

Since 1929, we’ve been the go-to food service partner for thousands of businesses across the UK – independent, resilient, and relentlessly focused on what’s next.

Now we need a bold, hungry Business Manager to own our growth in Cumbria, Lancashire and South West Scotland.

This is not a desk job. This is a hunt.

You’ll spend the majority of your time out in your territory, winning new customers, maximising existing ones, and turning every conversation into profitable growth. If the thrill of new business, the buzz of closing deals, and the satisfaction of hitting (and beating) targets gets you fired up – you’ll love it here.

• Hunt and win new business across your region
• Deepen relationships with existing customers to protect and grow revenue
• Partner with our Category Specialists to bring innovative, tailored food solutions to life
• Use our in-house technology and product range to solve customer challenges creatively
• Deliver exceptional service while hitting sales, profit, and growth targets
• Think on your feet – because things don’t always go to plan

• Proven field sales/new business development experience (food service or related B2B is a big advantage)
• Commercial sharpness – you spot opportunities others miss
• High energy, resilience, and genuine hunger to win
• First-class communication: you adapt your style to builders’ merchants one minute and fine-dining chefs the next
• Full UK driving license and happy to be on the road most days

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Contributory pension (we match 4%, rising to 6% after year
  1)
• Enhanced life cover
• Cashback health plan for the whole family + digital GP access
• Confidential 24/7 employee assistance & counselling

• High-street & leisure discounts (cinema, tech, travel, dining, etc.)
• Early wage access – up to 20% of earned pay before payday
• Lucrative incentive schemes – the harder you hunt, the more you earn

We’re building a diverse, forward-thinking team where different experiences and perspectives make us stronger. Whoever you are, whatever your background, we would love to speak to you.

If you’re excited by what you’ve read and believe you can make an impact (even if you don’t tick every single box), we’d love to hear from you.
