The Company
Macfarlane Group PLC is the UK’s largest packaging distributor and we are seeking to hire an experienced Sales Executive to join our highly successful sales team based out of our Reading site. As a business, we are passionate about providing fully integrated and innovative packaging solutions augmented by outstanding customer service. As a Group we are continuing to grow significantly and always keen to attract new sales talent to our business.
The Role
Reporting to the Regional Business Manager at our Reading site, this is very much a ‘full sales cycle’ role, whereby you shall be managing a significant portfolio of existing core customers but you will also need to focus a large percentage of your time upon generating new business too.

We welcome applications from experienced B2B field sales professionals (minimum 18 months experience ideally).

Accustomed to selling with real integrity, you will be used to delighting customers and have a demonstrable track record of sales success in terms of achieving targets consistently. Key account management experience would be an advantage.
