Company

This company is a great one – a well-established food manufacturer that sells into Tesco and the Co-op.

They are super passionate about their people and know all of their staff, down to their farmers.

They also have the backing of their government, who own 40% of the business – so they are extremely stable, but the government keeps it at arm’s length so as to let them run themselves.

It’s a great opportunity to sit with the MD and drive the company in the right direction.

They’ve recently launched a brand-new apprenticeship program to upskill the next generation of food enthusiasts and have just appointed several new board members as part of a new push to keep moving the business in the right direction.

The Role

Being honest, you will probably have to relocate for this one, it’s based on the Isle of Man.

BUT – it sounds like a genuinely nice place to go and live for several reasons:

* Tax is much lower – 10% at the lower end, and 22% at the upper end.

* The Government is trying to attract more skilled workers to the island, so is offering a rebate of national insurance back into the pot – up to £6000.

* It was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere in 2016 in recognition of the vibrant community, valued environment, and resilient economy.

You will be the standalone sales person for the business, selling into the UK and building relationships.

You’ll also be building new business opportunities, and working with production, dispatch, and the MD to sort out pricing and winning new clients.

You

Ideally, you will have a good background in selling within the meat industry.

Meat would be perfect, but any selling within food manufacturing would be fine.

And, of course, you will have to be willing to move to a beautiful island – it’s a beautiful place to bring up families, and if you’re single, who knows - the love of your life might be waiting for you!

If this sounds like something you could be interested in, get in touch with me on Siobhan.irvine @silven.co. uk, or give me a call on (phone number removed), job reference SI/SE.

NOTE: They are also looking for a financial controller, so if this isn’t the role for you but you know someone in finance who might want a move, point them in my direction
