This business is one of the leading names in the UK bakery market - supplying a wide range of products to major hotel groups, contract caterers, universities and leisure operators across the country. A business with real scale, strong heritage and a commercial culture that genuinely rewards people who take ownership.
As Channel Manager you will take full ownership of a £5m+ national account portfolio - managing at buying director and chef level across some of the UK's most recognised hotel groups and hospitality businesses. You'll own your P&L, develop JBPs, lead pricing negotiations and work closely with field sales and telesales teams to drive growth across your sector.
This is a field based role so you'll need to be highly mobile and comfortable with regular UK travel.
