Opportunities to progress as the company continues to grow
A supportive, people-focused culture
Direct access to senior decision-makers
The chance to make a visible impact within an ambitious, multi-site business
The Role
You will be responsible for identifying and winning new freight forwarding business across Yorkshire and the wider region.
Your responsibilities will include:
Winning new customers across road, sea and air freight
Identifying and developing new sales opportunities
Managing your own diary, appointments and sales pipeline
Attending customer meetings and presenting tailored freight solutions
Building strong relationships with decision-makers
Preparing quotations and negotiating commercial agreements
Working closely with operations to ensure a smooth customer handover

Previous freight forwarding sales experience
A strong understanding of road, sea or air freight
A proven ability to generate leads and win new business
Existing relationships within the Yorkshire market

A commercially focused and self-motivated approach
The confidence to manage your own territory and diary
A full UK driving licence
