New Business Development Executive (New Business Hunter)

Rotherham, United Kingdom | Posted on 06/18/2026

Howcroft Group Ltd are looking for a true new business hunter
.

Not an account manager.

Not someone who waits for enquiries.

This role is for someone who thrives on:

• Winning new customers
• Building pipeline from scratch
• Turning prospects into long-term, high-value accounts

They are an established industrial supplies business specialising in mechanical and automation, site safety and production consumables, with a strong reputation across Yorkshire. Now they’re investing in growth — and this role will be key to delivering their aggressive targets in the fast changing industrial landscape.

You’ll be responsible for generating and winning brand new business across:

• Manufacturing
• Food & beverage production
• Distribution & warehousing
• Recycling & aggregates

Operating within a defined local territory, you’ll:

• Identify and target high-potential industrial companies
• Proactively prospect via calls, email, Linked In and site visits
• Secure meetings with decision-makers (operations, procurement, engineering)
• Deliver tailored proposals focused on cost, service and reliability
• Convert opportunities into profitable, long-term accounts

• A proven B2B salesperson with a strong track record in new business
• Comfortable with high levels of outbound activity
• Confident speaking to senior stakeholders
• Relentless, resilient and self‑motivated

Most importantly:

• You enjoy the chase.
• You don’t rely on inbound leads.
• You measure success by wins, not effort.

Experience in industrial supplies, MRO or technical sales is advantageous — but mindset, behaviour & performance matters more.

• Competitive basic salary
• Uncapped commission structure (high reward for high performance)
• Autonomy to build and own your territory
• Development & training on a proven sales methodology.
• Clear progression as we grow the team

• Established business with strong operational support
• Opportunity to make a visible impact quickly
