We’re proud to be partnering with a fast-growing logistics and courier company that’s redefining what ambition looks like in the industry.

Founded in 2020 with just four drivers, this business has scaled rapidly to a network of over 300 experienced couriers delivering for clients across the UK. With a clear vision, strong leadership, and a culture that rewards initiative, they’re now preparing for the next phase of growth.

Backed by a Sales Director with deep industry experience and a proven track record, the company is looking for a driven, commercially-minded sales professional, ideally someone who’s gained some industry experience and is now ready to step up and make a real impact.

This is a unique opportunity for someone early in their career who’s not afraid to take a risk, wants to grow alongside a business, and thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments. You’ll be given the autonomy to make things happen, the support to sharpen your skills, and the platform to genuinely influence the future of the company.

Key Responsibilities:

• Proactively identify and target businesses that need high-quality, reliable logistics solutions.
• Using a blend of traditional and innovative sales practise, win new business with clients who need a variety of logistics services.
• Convert prospects into trading accounts, with a strong focus on speed to revenue.
• Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with key decision-makers.
• Maximise incoming and self-generated leads, keeping the CRM/database accurate and up to date.
• Spot opportunities for growth within new and existing accounts.
• Work closely with the wider team, sharing wins, ideas, and energy. Collaboration is key here.

Who You Are:

• Sales-driven, self-motivated, and hungry to succeed.
• Experience within the logistics and courier sector.
• A natural relationship builder who genuinely enjoys connecting with people.
• Energised by targets and thrives in an environment where results are celebrated.
• A team player - energy, ambition, and a drive to build something great.

If you’re ready to take a step up, carve out your space in a growing business, and be part of a company that’s going places, we’d love to hear from you.
