I’m currently working with a well-established UK manufacturer of corrugated packaging solutions, supplying businesses across a range of sectors including manufacturing and industrial and retail sectors.

Due to expansion they are now looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to cover the Bristol / M4 Corridor region.

The Role

This is a field-based BDM role focused on winning back lost customers and developing new business opportunities across the South West. The priority will be growing existing accounts and generating new business.

• Working closely with internal teams to deliver bespoke corrugated packaging solutions
• Building relationships with manufacturers, distributors and industrial clients
• Identifying opportunities to grow accounts and increase spend

The sales team currently consists of four territory managers, with strong coverage across the UK. This role will focus specifically on Bristol and the M4 Corridor.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in corrugated packaging, packaging manufacturing or related industries
• Strong new business development experience
• Ability to hit the ground running and develop a pipeline quickly
• A proactive, self-motivated approach
• Someone who enjoys being out with customers and building relationships

This role would suit someone who is commercially driven and enjoys winning business, but who can also develop accounts long term.
