My client is one of the UK’s top wholesale food suppliers, supplying the best restaurant brands on the high street.

Scope of the role:

You will be responsible for developing and guiding the implementation of specific customer account plans; achieving account profitability and sales targets; serving as the primary account contact & providing account leadership to ensure customer satisfaction and long term continuity of supply.
