An exciting opportunity to join a vibrant, enthusiastic sales team at our Head Office in Slough, as part of a market growth strategy. For the most part, this is an internal sales role (with the possibility of out of office, client-facing appointments as necessary) with its primary focus on the UK SME market and businesses that operate fleets of between 50 and 250 vehicles.

The main function of this role is to attain "sole supplier" or "preferred supplier" status with around 10-20 corporate clients through a process of competitive tendering - supported by our in-house Procurement Team - in addition to securing new business from inbound sales enquiries.

The role involves achieving sales targets through a process of:

  • Providing competitive quotations for Contract Hire and other vehicle leasing products
  • Setting-up and maintaining client accounts with our business partners - namely Lex Autolease (part of the Lloyds Banking Group), ALD Automotive (a division of Société Générale) and others
  • Securing client orders for both new vehicles and replacement of existing fleet vehicles

To assist in this role, ongoing client management is supported by our in-house customer services team and vehicles are supplied thoughout the UK by our preferred supplier network of dealerships - predominately on fully-maintained Contract Hire agreements.

Our Head Office has ample on-site parking and is walking distance from Slough High Street and its shopping centres; it is also conveniently located adjacent to both Slough Railway Station (operated by First Great Western) - which has direct connections to Windsor, London Paddington and Reading - and the iconic new Slough Bus Station.
