UK Sales Manager

£ Dependent on Experience

Want to lead the growth of a thriving European nursery business in the UK?

Ready to take ownership of a growth target and shape the future of a well-established brand?

Tandee & Van den Berk (VdB) Nurseries, a leading European tree and multi-stem nursery, is expanding its UK operations. With over 350 hectares of production in the Netherlands and a growing presence in the UK, we're looking for a UK Sales Manager to drive their ambitious growth plans.

Following the recent acquisition of Tandee & Van den Berk Nursery in Oundle, they are poised to increase their UK turnover significantly. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, forward-thinking business with a strong growth story.

What's the Role?

You'll be at the heart of Van den Berk's UK expansion, leading a team and driving commercial growth across the region.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and executing a growth strategy to target landscape architects, commercial clients, garden designers and various other channels
• Overseeing the development of our UK nursery site in Oundle, which has significant potential for expansion.

• Collaborating with the General Manager and the team at Tandee & Van den Berk Nursery aligning with their goals.
• Driving sales growth in the UK market

This isn't just a leadership role - it's a chance to shape the future of VdB in the UK.

What Do I Need?

We're looking for a motivated, commercially astute individual with a passion for growth and leadership. While experience in the tree and shrub industry is useful, it's not essential. What matters most is your ability to drive sales, lead a team, and deliver results.

You might be:

• A business development professional looking for a new challenge.
• A sales leader with experience in horticulture, landscaping, or trees.
• Someone with a passion for growth and a track record of delivering results.

You'll need:

• Strong leadership qualities and the ability to inspire a team.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• A commercial mindset with a focus on driving revenue growth.
• Flexibility to travel within the UK and occasionally to the Netherlands.

What's in It for You?

• A competitive salary - dependent on experience.
• Long-term incentives to reward your contribution to growth.
• The opportunity to shape the future of a well-established, ambitious business.
• A supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Flexibility to balance strategic and operational responsibilities.
