The brief
Our client is a UK market leader in forestry and landscape projects. With investment, capacity and a stellar reputation already in place, they’re now expanding into ornamental and other high-value horticultural sectors – and they want commercial rainmakers to open those doors. Is that you?

Why this is different

You’ll inherit credibility, production muscle and biosecure provenance from day one – then build new revenue lines across growers, nurseries, landscape contractors, housebuilders, infrastructure, retail and export. Deliver growth and you’ll be rewarded – financially and in fast-tracked career scope.

What you’ll do

  • Own a national/new-sector remit: map opportunities, set the go-to-market, and land major wins.
  • Build multi-year contract-growing, shape specs, species and delivery windows.
  • Win tenders/frameworks; negotiate pricing and service levels to margin targets.
  • Develop channel partnerships (nurseries/wholesalers/retail) and high-value project pipelines.
  • Feed market intel to production & operations so supply meets demand.
  • Report cleanly on funnel, forecast, margin and win rate; keep the CRM honest.

What you’ll bring

  • Proven B2B sales/business development in horticulture/ornamental/landscape/agri-inputs.
  • A network you can activate – decision-makers in nurseries, growers, contractors, developers, utilities or public sector.
  • Confidence with longer sales cycles, tenders/frameworks, and technical specifications.
  • Commercial acuity (pricing, margin, contracts) and a builder’s mindset.
  • Willingness to travel UK-wide; full UK driving licence.

What’s on offer

  • Fully hybrid with autonomy and backing.
  • Competitive base + uncapped bonus (paid on delivered margin) + car allowance + benefits.
  • Real progression – build a vertical, then lead it.
  • Purpose with profit: products that align to biodiversity, quality and provenance.
