Role - UK Sales Manager - Truck Mounted Platforms:

My client is a European market leader in the manufacture of truck mounted platforms and a decision has been made to expand their operations into the UK and Ireland, and in order to do so a decision has been made to recruit a proven UK Sales Manager. They are a multi-million-Euro organisation, operating throughout Europe that are looking to create a permanent presence in the UK market.

The role will report directly into the Sales Director.
