Business Development Manager Fresh Food, Supermarkets & Sustainable Logistics - Fully Remote Fresh Food, Chilled Logistics & Major Retail Supply Chains UK Wide Are you a proven new business developer with strong relationships across the fresh food, chilled food, and supermarket supply chain? Do you understand the supply and logistics challenges facing food manufacturers, growers, consolidators, processors, and suppliers delivering into the UK's leading supermarkets? Are you excited by the opportunity to represent a business that is genuinely transforming the future of UK food haulage logistics through innovation, sustainability, and environmental leadership? Our client is a pioneering logistics business and the first haulage company in the UK to operate a fully electric fleet. With sustainability at the heart of its growth strategy, the business is helping food producers and suppliers significantly reduce their carbon footprint whilst maintaining exceptional service levels delivering chilled food to major supermarkets across the UK. As part of an ambitious growth plan, we are seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to develop and win highly targeted new business across the fresh and chilled food sectors. The Role This is a true "hunter" role for an ambitious sales professional who thrives on opening doors, building relationships, influencing and securing new accounts. You'll be responsible for developing opportunities with food manufacturers, fresh produce suppliers, growers, wholesalers and organisations supplying the UK's major supermarket groups. Working closely with senior leadership, you will execute a targeted sales strategy, engaging with stakeholders at every level, from Transport and Supply Chain Managers through to Commercial Directors and Board-level decision makers. This is not simply about selling transport services. You'll be offering customers a compelling proposition that combines operational excellence with a market-leading sustainability agenda. What We're Looking For We are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who have: A proven track record of winning new business within food logistics, refrigerated transport, fresh produce, chilled food, or related supply chain sectors. Strong knowledge of supplying into major UK supermarkets, food retailers and food wholesalers. Existing networks and relationships within food manufacturing, fresh produce, food retail supply chains. The ability to engage, influence, and negotiate with stakeholders at all levels. A consultative sales approach and a passion for developing long-term customer partnerships. Experience building and managing sales pipelines and converting opportunities into profitable business. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Join a business leading the UK's transition towards sustainable food logistics. Represent a dynamic company on target to be the UK's first fully electric eHGV refrigerated fleet. Sell a genuinely differentiated solution in a competitive marketplace. Significant autonomy and influence within a growing organisation. Work alongside an ambitious leadership team with exciting growth plans. Be part of a company committed to reducing environmental impact across the food supply chain. This is an outstanding opportunity for a commercially driven sales professional who understands the fresh and chilled food market and wants to play a key role in shaping the future of sustainable logistics. If you have the industry knowledge, network, and drive to win business from food manufacturers and supermarket suppliers, we'd love to hear from you.
