Business Development Manager

This is an excellent opportunity to join an expanding family-run tree surgery and forestry business within Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. We would prefer someone with a rural background who can work closely with other office staff and the business owners (who can sometimes have minor disagreements as husbands and wives do)! The office is based at the yard and to that effect, its not pretty, but very friendly.
