The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity to begin your career as a Sales Executive Apprentice, joining a team focused on developing strong customer relationships, generating new business, and promoting our products with confidence and professionalism. You’ll gain hands-on experience working directly with customers, learning how to understand their needs, present solutions, and deliver an outstanding customer experience from first contact through to closing a sale.

You’ll be involved in the full end-to-end sales process, from researching prospective customers and preparing sales plans, to engaging in conversations, identifying opportunities, and helping shape proposals. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys communicating with people, building relationships, and working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment where no two days are the same.

• You’ll spend your time both in the office and out meeting customers, combining practical, real-world experience with structured learning.
• You’ll learn how to understand market trends, analyse customer motivations, and explain the features and benefits of our products or services clearly and confidently.
• As your skills develop, you’ll take on more responsibility, managing accounts, contributing to sales strategies, and helping deliver our commercial goals.
• Throughout the Apprenticeship, you’ll gain real industry experience, a recognised professional qualification pathway, and the skills needed to build a long-term career.

Who you are

• You are someone who enjoys engaging with people and communicating clearly, whether face-to-face, on the phone, or over digital platforms.
• You are naturally curious, proactive, and confident asking questions to understand what customers really need and how you can help.
• You are motivated by achieving goals, solving problems, and presenting solutions, and you are comfortable working in a target-driven environment where persistence and positivity are key.
• You’re adaptable, resilient, and able to stay calm and professional.
