ABOUT US

Blazequel is a trusted leader in specialist fire protection, with over 20 years’ experience safeguarding high-risk environments across the UK and Ireland, operating from offices in St Neots and Londonderry. We deliver tailored, comprehensive fire protection solutions for high-risk operations.
We are looking for a Senior Business Development Executive to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis, working 45 hours per week (including breaks), Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. This role has a primary focus on the Waste & Recycling sector, one of the UK’s most challenging and high-risk industries. This is not a desk-only role. You’ll be out in the field, visiting facilities, carrying out site surveys, building strong customer relationships, and converting opportunities into successful deals.
At Blazequel, our purpose is clear: making total fire protection for your operation a reality. What makes us different is our approach: we anticipate risks and deliver comprehensive protection before issues arise, delivering certainty when it matters most. We pride ourselves on relentless attention to detail, respect for colleagues, clients, and the environment, and providing peace of mind with systems that work in the heat of the moment. We think creatively to deliver the best solutions and go the extra mile to consistently delight our customers.
If you’re a driven business development professional who wants to join us full time and make an impact in the waste and recycling industry, protecting people, assets, and reputations, we’d love to hear from you.

As our Senior Business Development Executive, you will spearhead the company’s growth and market dominance in UK fire safety through the delivery of our sales strategy.
In this initially stand-alone role, you will aim to achieve 25% year-on-year growth and reach our £8.5m annual revenue target by 2027. This will include expanding our presence in waste management and recycling and strengthening ties with our blue-chip clients. As you gain traction, you’ll be supported by administrative and estimating resources so you can focus on what you do best - opening doors and closing sales!
You will forge strong partnerships with key stakeholders such as insurers, consultants, and specifiers, while seizing fresh opportunities across the fire protection services landscape.
Showcasing your leadership and coaching skills, you will also build, support, and direct a sales team, guiding them to exceed individual and collective targets, while monitoring their progression through key performance metrics.
Additionally, you will:
- Develop tender and pricing strategies to maintain a competitive edge
- Collaborate with technical teams to ensure smooth project delivery
- Monitor industry trends and regulatory changes to inform strategy
- Identify opportunities for service innovation and market expansion
- Help to improve sales processes, CRM systems, and performance metrics
- Represent us at industry events, trade shows, and networking functions
