This is your chance to join a global machine tool manufacturer with a strong UK presence and a reputation for quality, innovation, and customer service.
While this is a field-based role covering the UK, the company’s UK headquarters are located in Redditch.

• Confident communicator with strong negotiation skills.
• Self-motivated and target-driven, with a strategic mindset.
• Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel nationwide.
• Based in the Midlands region (preferred due to office location in Redditch).
