£DOE + Car/Allowance

Got strong plant knowledge, but have not had the chance to get into sales yet?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, ornamental nursery with a loyal customer base and a reputation for quality and service.

They're open-minded on background - if you know your plants and enjoy talking to people, they'll support you to develop the sales side.

What's on offer?

• Competitive salary DOE
• Monday-Friday role (no weekends)
• Car or car allowance
• 23 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension
• Full training and support to develop your sales skills
• A small, friendly team where everyone gets stuck in
• A role you can grow into and shape over time

What's the job?

You'll join the office-based team, learning the commercial side of the business while supporting existing customers and gradually getting involved in sales activity.

You don't need to be a finished salesperson; they're looking for a passion for horticulture and a drive to learn.

Day to day, you'll be:

• Handling customer enquiries and preparing quotations
• Learning how orders are processed and managed through to delivery
• Supporting existing customers and building new relationships over time
• Advising customers on plant selection and availability
• Working closely with the team to keep everything running smoothly
• Supporting new product ranges and learning what drives sales
• Visiting key customers
• Attending trade shows
• Work closely with the sales manager to create a business development plan

You'll start by learning the business inside out, then gradually take on more responsibility, including account management and business development.

What do I need?

• Strong plant knowledge - whether that be from working in a garden centre, nursery or soft landscaping role.
• A genuine interest in developing a career in horticulture sales
• Confidence speaking to customers and building relationships
• Good organisation and willingness to learn
• A team-focused, hands-on attitude
• Full UK driving licence
