The Company Our client is an established packaging design and manufacturing company, recently acquired by a larger industry group and now entering an ambitious phase of growth. Working with some of the UK's most recognisable and fast-growing consumer brands - particularly in food, cosmetics, and premium FMCG - they deliver high-quality packaging solutions that combine innovation with environmental responsibility.

Use a targeted, consultative approach to engage decision-makers in Operations, Procurement, and Marketing.

Use social media and influencer-led marketing trends to spot new opportunities and brand launches. Typical order values range from £50K to £1M, with meetings being your main metric of success. The Candidate We're looking for a proactive, enthusiastic individual who has: 1 years of experience in business development or inside sales (any B2B sector).

The ability to research and target effectively, with a genuine curiosity for brands and design. Ambition to develop into a closing or account management role over time. Experience in packaging or print is a plus, but not essential - what matters most is your drive and enthusiasm to build relationships and open doors.
