The M62 is the spine of northern industry. It runs from the docks at Liverpool, through Manchester and Leeds, all the way to the Humber at Hull, and almost every warehouse, factory and distribution site along it needs kit to lift, move and store. A forklift and materials handling business is expanding right across that corridor, and it wants northern sales people who already know the patch to help it get there.
The opportunity
You will take a patch somewhere along the M62, anywhere from Liverpool in the west to Hull in the east, and run it like your own business. New customers, lapsed accounts, live tenders, the lot. Because the company is expanding rather than backfilling, you are helping to open territory rather than inheriting a finished one.
The range is easy to get behind once you are in the room. New and used forklifts, fleet deals, short and long term hire, and an aftermarket team that keeps customers loyal long after the first order lands.
Why the patch works
The corridor is dense with industry. Ports, manufacturers, third party logistics and distribution sites sit within easy reach of each other, so your drive times stay short and your prospect list stays long. Whether you are based in Merseyside, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire or out towards the Humber, the work is on your doorstep.
You will spend your time where it counts, on site, walking the warehouse floor and understanding how customers actually run, then quoting, negotiating and closing. No two weeks look the same, and that is the appeal.
This role is for you if
- You are based in the north and know the M62 industrial scene, or you have sold into it before.
- You have a background in materials handling, capital equipment or a related field sales role.
- You can read a warehouse and talk to an operations director and a buyer with equal confidence.
- You want a patch to own and the freedom to build it your way.
What is on offer
- A growing territory along the M62, created by expansion rather than a tidy-up of someone else's accounts.
- Competitive basic with a commission structure that rewards your results.
- Company vehicle or allowance and the tools to do the job properly.
- A business investing in growth, with the hire and service backbone to support what you sell.
