  • Take ownership of commercial negotiations, promotions, and pricing strategy
  • Act as the face of a brand known for its quality, innovation, and energy

You’ll bring:

  • A strong network within UK foodservice, ideally across restaurants, contract catering, or education
  • Proven experience in winning and growing new business
  • Excellent commercial acumen - confident managing margins, pricing, and P&Ls
