Business Development Manager

Eden Scott is delighted to be working with Little’s Chauffeur Drive, Scotland’s largest chauffeur drive operator, with over forty luxury vehicles and bases in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. From their headquarters in Glasgow, their experienced reservations team coordinates chauffeur-driven services for clients across the UK and worldwide.

A second-generation family business, Little’s has built its reputation over five decades through exceptional service, long-standing relationships and a commitment to quality. Despite their growth, their family values remain central to everything they do.

They offer a collaborative, supportive and ambitious working environment where people are encouraged to contribute ideas, build relationships and make a genuine impact on the business.

Little’s have now created a new role and have an exciting opportunity for a Business Development Manager for Corporate & Strategic Accounts.

They are seeking a commercially astute and relationship-driven Business Development Manager to support the continued growth of Little’s corporate and strategic accounts business.

This role will focus primarily on identifying and developing new opportunities across:

• Corporate clients
• Travel Management Companies (TMCs)
• Luxury hotels
• Entertainment and VIP sectors

The successful candidate will also nurture and grow selected existing accounts while helping strengthen Little’s position as Scotland’s leading luxury chauffeur operator.

Reporting to the Head of Sales, Harjeet, this is a high visibility role with the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and contribute directly to the company’s growth strategy.

Unlike many sales roles, client meetings across Scotland are typically conducted using our chauffeur-driven luxury vehicles, allowing candidates to showcase the Little’s experience first-hand while building relationships in a premium environment.

This is a hybrid role with regular travel across Scotland and occasional wider UK travel as required.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and secure new corporate and strategic account opportunities across Scotland and the UK
• Develop relationships with key decision makers across corporate, hospitality, travel and entertainment sectors
