Our client is an expanding digital communications company based in Warrington. 

They are looking for a Business Development Manager to help drive the next chapter of their growth.

This is not an account management role. This is not a "maintain and renew" gig. This is a proper hunter role for someone who gets a buzz from finding, winning, and closing new business.

The short version: You'll own a revenue target across LED, commercial AV, and digital signage. You'll sell into verticals like retail, transport, corporate, hospitality, and healthcare.

You'll have the backing of a large group company behind you and a genuine cross-sell engine across multiple business units.

What they need from you:

  • 3+ years in B2B field sales (AV, LED, digital signage or similar tech)
  • A track record you can put numbers against
  • Confidence in front of C-suite decision makers
  • Energy, curiosity, and a serious work ethic

What you get:

  • Competitive base (45k - 55k) + uncapped commission + £4.8k car allowance
  • A seat at the table during a major brand integration
  • Warrington HQ with UK-wide client travel
  • Permanent, full-time role

If you feel this role is for you, apply now!

1Question

Tell me about a time you exceeded a challenging revenue target

Last year I inherited a struggling territory with just £340k annual revenue against a £1.2M target. I analysed the pipeline and identified that previous efforts focused on small accounts rather than enterprise opportunities. I shifted strategy to target C-suite decision makers in healthcare and retail, developing relationships with 15 key prospects over 6 months. By focusing on larger LED installation projects averaging £85k rather than small digital signage deals, I closed 8 major contracts totalling £1.47M, exceeding target by 123%. The key was understanding that enterprise buyers needed ROI justification and technical credibility, not just product features.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to win over a sceptical C-suite executive

I was presenting a £180k commercial AV solution to a retail chain's CEO who'd been burned by a previous supplier's poor installation. He was openly sceptical about our capabilities and questioned our technical expertise. Rather than defend, I acknowledged his concerns and arranged a site visit to our largest healthcare client where he could see our LED displays in operation and speak directly to their facilities director. I also provided detailed case studies showing 98% uptime across our installations. This transparency approach worked - he appreciated the honesty and awarded us the contract plus two additional stores worth £290k total.
